I have fresh mac and don't want to break anything so here's kind of silly question from someone who calls himself java developer.

I've installed newest JDK from Oracle 1.7.10 and I can confirm that it was installed successfully by running java -version in console. However I cannot run IntelliJ application which I've also installed because window pops up asking me: "To open “IntelliJ IDEA 12 CE,” you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?"

It is kind of nasty because if I agree to install it then from what I know it will install some Mac JRE version 6 something and this is rather useless for me - that's why I didn't click it.

I've exported path export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home" but it didn't help and I still cannot run IntelliJ via Applications.

So what should I do? I'm not in rush for setting up this machine so I'd rather ask and wait than install some useless jre.

It turns out that this popup doesn't install apple's JRE but installs some update and after that update everything works fine.
