Thanks Josh. That was the issue. From: Josh Rosen [mailto:rosenvi...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 5, 2014 3:21 PM To: Judy Nash; dev@spark.apache.org Subject: Re: build in IntelliJ IDEA
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 On December 5, 2014 at 1:52:35 PM, Judy Nash (judyn...@exchange.microsoft.com<mailto:judyn...@exchange.microsoft.com>) wrote: 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
