How to setup JRuby SDK for IntelliJ's Ruby plugin?

Under project structure I go "SDKs > Add > JRuby SDK > New local..." so it asks me to find the SDK in the file system. The problem is, if I select the parent JRuby directory (or any directory) it disables the OK button, if I select jruby.exe it pops up an error "Cannot find Java 1.5 or higher".

I do have java and I can even run a gem from the terminal outside IntelliJ (so I suppose my JRuby knows about my JDK).

For future Reference : Just go to JRuby directory select the bin folder and select jruby file , it will enable the "Ok" button.

Most likely your JAVA_HOME env variable is not set.

I had the same problem. I setup JDK7 in IntelliJ, but JRuby did not recognize that JDK and was still complaining "Cannot find Java 1.5 or higher".

Because I couldn't set JAVA_HOME globally in my system, I set it locally in cmd session and then run IntelliJ from the same cmd session. That worked for me.
