How do you fix the missing 'javadoc' command issue when calling maven from IntelliJ?

Question

I keep getting this when calling maven install from IntelliJ:

Error while creating archive: Unable to find javadoc command: The environment variable JAVA_HOME is not correctly set.

I can run maven-install just fine from the terminal inside of my working directory, but does anyone know how to get this to actually work in IntelliJ?

Answer 1

With IDEA 12 and older on Mac you may need to define JAVA_HOME environment variable per this answer. IDEA 13 should read the Terminal environment automatically, but not from .bash_profile.
