Android Studio startup configuration

Any help to feature out how to setup Android Studio startup configuration params will be appreciated. I have Android Studio 2.2 running on MAC, plus installed SDK on /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_77.jdk/Contents/Home. My problem that the current Android Studio instance is running by referencing to the embedded JDK which lacks essential jars I need for proper plugin operation.

Looking at this IDE log I see the following

    2016-09-21 07:54:03,906 [      0]   INFO -        #com.intellij.idea.Main - ------------------------------------------------------ IDE STARTED ------------------------------------------------------

I need ether to reset the following line ext: /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/ext: to make it to refer to jdk1.8.0_77.jdk or to add an extra ext entry to the startup configuration.

Thanks a lot

Eventually I found how it's possible to handle this. I had to add java.ext.dirs JVM parameter to studio.vmoptions file to instruct the luncher where to lookup for extra libs

-Djava.ext.dirs=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/JDK-VERSION/Contents/Home/jre/lib/ext

You can point a custom JDK by adding the the environment variable STUDIO_JDK.

export STUDIO_JDK=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_77..

See http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration/osx-jdk
