Using Intellij IDEA with current JDK

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Andrew,
this is a bug in IntelliJ - not sure if it's already fixed in the latest 
version - you might want to try to update in case you have not done it.

The reason is that IntelliJ used to check for the presence of javah to 
see if a JDK home was valid - since javah was removed [1], that 
detection started to act up.

One workaround is to put an empty file called 'javah' in your JDK bin 
folder :-)
