I use IntelliJ IDEA as my development environment, and Maven for dependency management. I frequently build my project structure (directories, poms, etc) outside of IDEA and then import the project into IDEA using Import project from external model
. This works great, except that in my poms I specify that the maven-compiler-plugin should use JDK 1.6, and when I import, IDEA informs me that the Language Level Changed
and that Language level changes will take effect on project reload
, and then prompts to reload the project. This is annoying because I always use the same JDK version.
How do I change the default JDK that IntelliJ IDEA uses, so that I don't have to reload my project every time I import a new project?
