build in IntelliJ IDEA

Hi everyone,

Have a newbie question on using IntelliJ to build and debug.

I followed this wiki to setup IntelliJ:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Useful+Developer+Tools#UsefulDeveloperTools-BuildingSparkinIntelliJIDEA

Afterward I tried to build via Toolbar (Build > Rebuild Project).
The action fails with the error message:
Cannot start compiler: the SDK is not specified.

What SDK do I need to specify to get the build working?

Thanks,
Judy

If you go to “File -> Project Structure” and click on “Project” under the “Project settings” heading, do you see an entry for “Project SDK?”  If not, you should click “New…” and configure a JDK; by default, I think IntelliJ should figure out a correct path to your system JDK, so you should just be able to hit “Ok” then rebuild your project.   For reference, here’s a screenshot showing what my version of that window looks like: http://i.imgur.com/hRfQjIi.png
