This is a tip in reference to Yosemite ´s users (10.10). Yosemite erase 1.6 apple jdk and install 1.7, but JAVA´s IDE for example Intellij or Eclipse needs 1.6, if you haven´t reinstalled this version, your ide will crash at the beginning... after this process you can configure your ide with 1.7 version.

Here the link : Apple JDK 1.6

It's easy to change Jetbrains' products to use jdk1.7:

  1. Open Application folder
  2. Choose Jetbrains product you use
  3. RightClick and choose 'show package content' <- I dont know how exactly it is in english version of OS
  4. Choose Contents
  5. Double Click Info.plist

  6. Find:

    <key>JVMVersion</key> <string>1.6*</string>

  7. and change to:

    <key>JVMVersion</key> <string>1.7*</string>

  8. Save and quit,

  9. Enjoy!
