IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.1 won't start - intellij-idea

I am using IntelliJ IDEA Community Version 2020.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and it is not starting. I tried running it from the terminal, the following error is shown:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
Unrecognized option: -ide.win.frame.decoration=true
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
The unrecognized option was added by me, to remove the title bar. But after adding this option and restarting it, it fails to start.
I thought this option might be located in "idea.vmoptions" file but could not find it there. Is there any other file where this option might be located? Or is there any way to start IntelliJ ignoring this error?

So there are multiple "idea.vmoptions" files. I had to edit the one in:
/home/user_name/.config/JetBrains/IdeaIC2020.1
I had to remove "-ide.win.frame.decoration=true" from there. This solved the issue.

.vmoptions file takes options in this format: -D<option>=<value>.
The syntax for the option you've inserted was invalid, should have been -Dide.win.frame.decoration=true instead.
See this FAQ document for the details how this file can be found and edited manually depending on the OS and IDE version.

GraphDB Failed to create JVM after attempting to change java options

Running GraphDB on windows.
I right clicked the icon, clicked settings. Tried to set Xmx512Mb, (so I mistyped, should have been Xmx512M). Now trying to run GraphDB says "Failed to create JVM", even after uninstalling and re installing.
Where can I find and undo what I typed in the settings if the UI is not starting up?
In other words, where is this configuration stored?
I removed AppData/Roaming/GraphDB and AppData/Local/GraphDB Free
Just to generalize it, If you set an invalid Java option parameter, GraphDB Free may fail to start after the application restart. The only way to solve this problem is to remove the invalid line from the file:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\com.ontotext.graphdb.free\packager\jvmuserargs.cfg (Windows)
~/Library/Application Support/com.ontotext.graphdb.free/packager/jvmuserargs.cfg (Mac OS)
~/.local/com.ontotext.graphdb.free/packager/jvmuserargs.cfg (Linux).
In addition to Damyan's answer there is a GraphDB Free.cfg file in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\GraphDB Free\app\ which you can edit.

Payara does not start from Intellij

The Payara with GlassFish 5.192.0 does not start using the Intellij Idea.
If I run payara\bin\asadmin start-domain is works just fine, and the server starts and runs.
These are the final lines from the console output with the --verbose property set on true.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Unrecognized option: --add-opens=jdk.management/com.sun.management.internal=ALL-UNNAMED
Command start-domain failed.
The DAS was stopped.
The root case of the issue is logged here.
Windows launcher prepends PATH with JetBrains Runtime bin directory in order to load certain DLLs without issues. It turned out to be not the best solution and we are working to address it in a different way.
asadmin.bat uses the first java.exe from PATH. It doesn't try to detect it via JAVA_HOME.
The workaround for now is to switch IntelliJ IDEA boot JDK to JBR8 per this document or start IntelliJ IDEA using idea.bat instead of idea64.exe.
The issue is fixed in 2019.2.1 RC.

jackrabbit - There is an error in invoking javac. A full JDK (not just JRE) is required

I'm learning Jackrabbit and following the documentation to run a standalone server. When I run the command java -jar jackrabbit-standalone-2.16.2.jar and access localhost:8080 on my browser, I get a 500 error saying:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: PWC6345: There is an error in invoking javac. A full JDK (not just JRE) is required
What am I doing wrong?
Note: I have set my jdk/bin path in my environment variables.Also, my javac command is working properly. I've jdk version 1.8.0_74 and Jackrabbit version 2.16.2
Edit: According to this answer, I tried setting my jdk to my installed jres in eclipse but that didn't solve my problem.
Running the latest jackarabit standalone jar(2.17.3) in my machine(windows 10 and java home pointing in java8 jdk) produced the same errors.
I then executed the rar with java -Djava.home="%JAVA_HOME%" -jar jackrabbit-standalone-2.17.3.jar. Although I got the same error in browser I was able to see errors in the console where I invoked the running command.
One of these error was
can't open C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\lib\tzmappings.
Searching my java installation I found that the missing files, are located under jre's installation folder.
So I eventually made the standalone jar to work with:
java -Djava.home="%JAVA_HOME%\jre" -jar jackrabbit-standalone-2.17.3.jar
The initial error is a bit misleading as it refers to javac and not to the missing files.
The whole thing seems to be a bug for me. Please give a try to my workaround and if it works for you consider filing a bug in Jackrabbit's issue tracker platform.
jackrabbit-standalone uses JSP. JSP needs compilation. Compilation needs JDK.
Before running java -jar jackrabbit-standalone-2.16.2.jar do you check your JAVA_HOME, and make sure it refers to a fully-fledged JDK? In short, the bin directory should have javac.
I found that there was another variable in the Path environment System variable preceding my %JAVA_HOME%\bin variable.
You don't have to delete the other variable, but move it down (or move %JAVA_HOME\bin up) to correct the load order.

Cannot auto configure pydev in eclipse

I have installed PyDev successfully, I have python 3.4.0 installed successfully and the folder containing python.exe is in my path and I can run it from the command line.
However, when I go to window\preferences\pydev\interpreters\python interpreter and select 'quick auto-config' to configure it using normal python I get an error saying 'auto configurator could not find a valid interpreter... Note the system environment variables used for Jython are PATH and PYTHONHOME.'
Unless this is a bug in the text I am not selecting Jython (I get a different error if I select IronPython, btw, so this is not a generic error message).
The trace is as follows:
Errors getting info on discovered interpreter(s).
See error log for details.
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "python": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
As I say, python.exe is in my path.
You have to install the actual python package separately from here https://www.python.org/download
Close LiClipse/Eclipse => Download Python Here: https://www.python.org/download
=> reopen LiClipse => Auto Config for the interpreter Will WORK!
I found the answer, but I'll leave this up in case anyone else gets it. It's a pretty stupid auto config option if you ask me ;)
In the higher level window\preferences\pydev\interpreters\ preference you need to untick jython and ironpython.
No idea why given I selected the Python sub-preference specifically.

Jdeveloper - Unrecognized option: -jrockit

Every time I try to run a weblogic webcenter application on Jdev I get the following error and I cant find any reference on how to fix this anywhere on the web.
starting weblogic with Java version: Could not create the Java virtual
machine. Unrecognized option: -jrockit
Try modifying the startWebLogic.cmd file (WIN7)
c:\users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system{version}\DefaultDomain\bin\startWebLogic.cmd
to contain
set JAVA_VM=-server
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Jdeveloper 11g do not support jdk 1.7
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2482850
I fixed it by add to top of c:\users{user}\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system{version}\DefaultDomain\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd:
set SUN_JAVA_HOME=E:\Oracle\Java\jdk1.6.0_37
set JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
In OSX, look for the this folder /Users/{USERNAME}/.jdeveloper/system{VERSION}/DefaultDomain/bin
Edit the file setDomainEnv.sh and look for SUN_JAVA_HOME and make sure the value is the same value as your JAVA_HOME, i.e. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk${JDK_VERSION}.jdk/Contents/Home, by default it seems it is set to an empty string "".
Edit the file startWebLogic.sh and add the following before setDomainEnv.sh is called.
JAVA_VENDOR=Sun
You can test it out by running sh ./startWebLogic.sh, if it runs with -jrockit error, then all is good :)
I've also tested with Java JDK 1.7 and it seems to work.
The reason is, that older Weblogic Versions use the Java VM "JRockit"
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/jrockit/overview/index.html
The JRockit VM is no longer supported in Java 7 or higher.
All of the other solutions here seem to be hacks and none of them helped me.
I had the same Problem with a Weblogic 10.3.5 and I found out, the installation was incorrect.
The Problem is, that there is no java version check in the installer, so if you don't know that you can't use Java 7 or higher you are screwed.
These steps fixed it for me:
You need to make sure you have Java 6 or lower installed.
Reinstall the Weblogic and make sure to specify the correct JDK
