Choose jdk for WebStorm

I'd like to specify jdk for my WebStorm 8, but I can't find a place, where can I do it.

I installed jdk 1.7 and 1.8, specified JAVA_HOME, WEBIDE_HOME, but webstorm.exe still looking into ../jre folder.

Update OS - windows 7 x64

After restarting PC still used ../jre.

To run IDE using 64-bit JDK you have to launch IDE using WebStorm64.exe file instead of default WebStorm.exe.

Small "problem" is: WebStorm v8 does not contain *64.exe file as part of the distribution package -- it only available in v9 (currently in EAP stage).

To run v8 using 64-bit JDK you have to use .BAT file (WebStorm.bat) to launch IDE: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/thread/450063

P.S. Selecting the JDK version the IDE will run under
