IntelliJ Error:Abnormal build process termination

Answer 1

This happened to me when I updated Nvidia drivers to 378.49. After reinstalling JDK and rolling back to oldest versions as 368.81(which didn't work), I just rolled back right to the previous 376.33 and it worked.

Answer 2

I have the same problem with the Nvidia drivers 378.49. As soon as I installed them, I started getting this error. After rolling back to 376.33 it started working without even having to reboot or restart IntelliJ

Answer 3

Ok, not sure if that will help you but it solved problem form me, I had the same problem with my Java projects after I update to Intellij 16 basically a had to remove JDK from machine and install it again.
