How to start a new JavaFX project with JDK 9 in IntelliJ

Question

I am trying to start a new JDK 9 project in IntelliJ, but when I attempt to run it I get the following error during the make process:

Error:java: invalid flag: -release

I know I haven't set it up correctly but can't seem to find anything relating to setting up a project with Jigsaw in IntelliJ.

Edit Here is a screen shot of the issue. Haven't been able to find anything related to this anywhere.

I have no compiler errors in the IDE. It just fails on the build/run command. This is a clean install of IntelliJ, new project started with the JDK 9.

Answer 1

I was able to set the JDK level to experimental and it worked.

Hopefully this will help others who run into this issue.
