Error in creating Maven project in Intellij (Linux - VM)

Question

I was trying to create a Maven project in Intellij in Linux 16. It keeps throwing me an error. Trying the solutions available on the net but nothing worked.

This is the error I am getting:

Answer 1

Okay, so I solved it. I did not change the JRE, so just dont forget the JRE. Posting the answer so that it will be useful for somebody in the future. Attaching an image for reference.

Also use this for the VM options.

 -Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory
