Java Spring Basics Introduction and Setting up Our Development Tools Overview of Gradle to Manage Dependencies

"No SDK" message

After I select Gradle, then Java, I get the following "No SDK" message: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8vdqv9ilawh9hwj/noSDK.tiff?dl=0

If I select "Yes" it allows me to proceed. Just wondering what I should think about the "No SDK" message. Thanks.

Hi Sherrie - we need to fix that! Without a software development kit, things won't go too well!!

Where does this appear? When I start IDEA, I get a splash screen where I can select New Project. Then I get the New Project window, just like your one there. In the drop-down right at the top (behind the No SDK flash, so I can't see it in your screenshot) you can select the Project SDK. Selecting the drop-down should allow you to select Java 1.8. Do you get that option?

IntelliJ IDEA

If not, best download the JDK from Oracle, here.

Best of luck - let me know how you get on.

Steve.

Sherrie,

If Steve Hunter 's suggestion doesn't work for you. I go over this in the Local Development Environments course.

Hope it Helps!

Thanks guys. All is good now. And I'm really enjoying this course.
