I started using Gradle and Intellij but I am having problems to configure Gradle's JVM. When I start a new Gradle project I am not allowed to define JVM as my JAVA_HOME variable. The following screenshots show what is happening:
As you can see Intellij says that my JAVA_HOME variable is not defined, however if I type echo $JAVA_HOME I can get my Java directory, in my case: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
My ./~bash_profile is configured as follow: export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
Someone can figure what is happening ? Thank you!

To set JAVA_HOME, do the following: Right click My Computer and select Properties. On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, and then edit JAVA_HOME to point to where the JDK software is located, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1. 6.0_02.
Click Environment variables. Under User variables, click New. Enter JAVA_HOME as the variable name. Enter the path to the JDK as the variable value.
JAVA_HOME is an operating system (OS) environment variable which can optionally be set after either the Java Development Kit (JDK) or the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. The JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the file system location where the JDK or JRE was installed.
Bit counter-intuitive, but you must first setup a SDK for Java projects. On the bottom right of the IntelliJ welcome screen, select 'Configure > Project Defaults > Project Structure'.
The Project tab on the left will show that you have no SDK selected:
Therefore, you must click the 'New...' button on the right hand side of the dropdown and point it to your JDK. After that, you can go back to the import screen and it should be populated with your JAVA_HOME variable, providing you have this set.
