java - Setting JAVA_HOME for intelliJ?

Question

So i decided to try the beta of android studio today, but it refuses to run on my 32-bit JRE. I can download the 64-bit JRE, but im not interested in it being my default JRE for various reasons (my current 32-bit eclipse IDE, Processing IDE and Minecraft doesn't like 64-bit to my experiences), and i think that swithing java_home dir all the time will be cumbersome.

So does intelliJ have some way of setting an alternative JAVA_HOME dir like eclipse does in its ini?

Answer 1

In IntelliJ you can specify which SDK to use at project level. go to "File" --> "Project Structure" --> SDKs (list on the left) and you can add/remove paths to different SDKs

Other solution: If you use Windows then I think you can specify JAVA_HOME as system property just for IntelliJ. If you use Linux the solution is similar.
