It often crashes when I open Intellij Idea.

I have tried different Intellij Idea versions (2019.1, 2018.3).

I installed Oracle JDK (Java SE Development Kit 8u201).

My Os : macOs Mojave.

This is the one part of the crash logs : (it is too long to share all logs here. to see all logs : here paste bin )

I could not find what the reason is. Can somebody help me?

  • Try using IntelliJ IDEA + JBR11 instead of 8: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html. If the issue persists, check your system with http://www.memtest86.com/, it could be the hardware issue (faulty RAM). – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '19 at 21:59
  • did you try "try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again"? how much free memory do you have when launching intellij? – Amin Heydari Alashti Apr 21 '19 at 04:02
  • Is java working at all? `java -version` or other java app? Also, as suggested elsewhere, try to use a newer java version (9, 10). – LMC Apr 22 '19 at 02:52
  • The JRE you downloaded appears to be a different JRE than your exception is coming from. – matt Apr 23 '19 at 11:07
  • It should crash man, You have installed oracle and it's showing openjdk in fatal error. – Yanish Pradhananga Apr 23 '19 at 12:36
  • are u running on VM ? – Du-Lacoste Apr 25 '19 at 05:32

    @matt that is as expected, IntelliJ runs on its own JRE rather than the system JRE (for running IntelliJ only, not for running/compiling your projects). – jwenting Apr 25 '19 at 06:27
  • @jwenting that is why I am asking. You can start intellij using a different jvm. I am not sure how to do it on mac, but maybe op already is. – matt Apr 25 '19 at 07:57

    This looks more like an issue for Jetbrains support than for SO... Suggest you look there, sam, they're very good at responding on their own support channels – jwenting Apr 25 '19 at 08:10

Intellij runs on OpenJDK by default, and the reason for your problem may be that the version of OpenJDK used by intellij has a conflict with the Oracle JDK. My idea is to change the intellij default JDK to Oracle JDK. And I find the steps on intellij official website.

  • Firstly, start your intellij and ignore the Java crash.
  • Secondly, press Ctrl + Shift + A and type Switch Boot JDK.
  • Thirdly, double click the "Switch Boot JDK" item bar and choose your Oracle JDK installation directory.
  • Finally, restart your intellij.

It could be a memory issue if it sometimes crashes. Have you tried to adjust the memory options in idea64.vmoptions? https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544869

Did you try ulimit -a and check core file size in result? If core file size is 0 mean that you can't create core dumps.

then you can try ulimit -c unlimited to set that is unlimited

You can see more information about ulimit in this link Setting limits with ulimit

Please try removing -Xmx750m from JVM Arguments. I am guessing it might be due to heap size.

Note: By default, -Xmx takes 25% of available memory.
