I just installed intelliJ and tried to import an eclipse project. I have a jre installed but no jdk. It doesnt want to compile without a jdk. What am I doing wrong? Do I need one?

Yes, you need it. JRE required only to run java programs. JDK - for development.

No, Apparently eclipse doesnt need one, its built in. stackoverflow.com/questions/1642338/…– mike628Commented Mar 4, 2013 at 18:30

eclipse does need a compiler, even if it's bundled along with the IDE. IntelliJ only comes with a JRE, and needs an external compiler to build your projects. Commented Mar 5, 2013 at 8:56
