Using different JDK in runIDE tasks

IntelliJ Platform Gradle Build Scripts
1

Because of this issue I am wondering if there is a way to set up a different JDK when running the runIde task?

I looked in here but couldn’t find a proper section on how to do it.

I think it actually is mentioned in the doc you linked:

To resolve the jbr_jcef-21.0.3-osx-aarch64-b446.1.tar.gz archive, you can use:

  • jetbrainsRuntime("21.0.3b446.1", "osx", "aarch64")
  • jetbrainsRuntime("21.0.3b446.1") (os and architecture are by default resolved with the current environment)
  • jetbrainsRuntimeExplicit("jbr_jcef-21.0.3-osx-aarch64-b446.1")

But I can’t use Jbr - the workaround suggested in the YouTrack is to use Amazon corretto

@yann.cebron , @jakub.chrzanowski any chance you can help me better understand JetBrains position about the issue above (youtrack)?

This is a huge stopper for me and in the ticket they are talking about 2025.2.

Not sure how it is even possible since from my understanding it will affect a huge number of JetBrains’ users once Apple will release the beta version.
