Using OpenJDK 9 EA with IntelliJ

Question

Right now I'm trying to setup IntelliJ to play around with OpenJDK 9 which I downloaded and installed from here. I got the 64 bit Windows version. I added JDK 9 by going to Project Structure and adding the directory C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9 as a new SDK. Everything looks great and normal until I try to actually run the program, then this happens.

Error:Internal error: (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError) Could not initialize class java.lang.management.ManagementFactory$PlatformMBeanFinder

Has anyone else ran across this issue and found a way to use JDK 9 with IntelliJ?

Answer 1

Maybe you have to try an older version of jdk. I have the same problem with you and I select an older version of jdk in IntelliJ. But I still have problem installing Eclipse with java 9-ea. this is my post:With java 9 ea, Eclipse fails to install and show error "An error has occurred, see the log file null"
