I installed Itellij IDEA 15.0.2 on Windows 8.1, when I first started, she asked for the path to the JDK, I did it, after which it worked successfully. However, after restarting the computer, at startup it gave the error 'tools.jar' seems to be not in IDEA classpath. . I checked the JAVA_HOME command line, checked the availability of tools.jar in JDK_directory/lib , which is specified in the variable, everything is in place, what could be the problem?


When you start from the idea.exe shortcut, an error crashes, if you run idea64.exe - everything works.

  • This is the full text of the error, doesn't exactly write further: "Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE"? - Mstislav Pavlov
  • @will_hunting Try compiling something. A window with configuration settings will appear and check the paths there. - titov_andrei
  • Yes, it says "Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE". I can not compile anything, because this error is about launching the studio, after which it falls. - will_hunting
  • @will_hunting Well, clearly writes. Specify in JAVA_HOME the path not to the JRE, but to the JDK. Show content JAVA_HOME - Hermann Zheboldov
