IntelliJ: cannot find java.util.Optional - intellij-idea

In a new project in IntelliJ I have set up a Java 8 JRE/JDK and language level 8.0.
But for some reason, the IDE cannot find java.util.Optional. The project compiles and works just fine (from within the IDE, too) but code completion does not work.
Any ideas? I'd like to ask a few other users before creating a ticket on their bugtracker...

I finally figured this out. For whatever reason, there was an entry for java.util.Optional in the exlusions under Editor, General, and Auto Import.
Removing that did the trick. No idea how or why it ended up being there. Doesn't sound like anything I would want to do.

Stupid IntelliJ.
I have a SpringBoot project which worked just fine. Then, the next day, when I want to run it, I got this error:
Caused by: java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The type java.util.Optional cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files without changing anything!
I cleared IntelliJ cache.
Although it was a maven project it was already using JDK8,
I have changed the Project Settings, and said (again) to use JDK8,
Maven re-import, Cleaned the project, Build->Rebuild project, and it magically worked again

I had a similar problem in ubuntu. For me the problem was that I used JDK1.7 and when I changed it to JDK1.8 everything worked just fine.
Now, that makes sense, as Optional is something that was introduced in JDK1.8, before that the concept was exists only in Guava: http://onelineatatime.io/optional-guava-and-java-8/

Ran into the same problem (in IntelliJ 2017.2.7) and solved it like this:
Project Structure->Modules->Module SDK and there change it to 1.8
I've also first set Java compiler to 8 and Project Structure->Project->Project SDK and Project language level also set to 8 without success. In the end, the step I described finally fixed it.

I ran into this recently. The issue was related to my Project SDK setting. Didn't have to clear any caches.
The issue shows with my Project SDK set to 1.8 (1.8.0_202). The issue was fixed by changing it to 11 (11.0.6). Also confirmed that the issue reappears when I switched it back to 1.8.

In java 8 some functions of Optional class not supported such as isEmpty, ifPresentOrElse, or, stream, orElseThrow. You should check whether you use them or not. If you want to use these functions you can use java 11.

Do I need to download javafx12?

I have been having trouble utilizing Javafx within Intellij. I run into the error "JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application" that I see a lot of other people have.
My main question is do I need to download Javafx12 sdk. I am able to use Dr.Java to run some of my old javafx projects just fine after adding an extra class path and I haven't needed to downloaded anything. It doesn't seem like I need to download anything as another much more basic IDE is able to run javafx. So why does it seem like intellij requires an extra download?
If you moved to Java 12, then yes, you need to download the JavaFX 12 from their new website https://openjfx.io. Luckily installing it is pretty straightforward and well-explained.
It worked before because JavaFX was shipped inside the JDK distribution, which is no longer the case. Swing however is still there and will work as before. (I am not saying you go back to Swing, just that it is still shipped along the JDK)

Why cannot find declaration to go to in IntelliJ Idea?

I have a code in go, and I am using IntelliJIdea for development. It used to work fine, but since the time I have changed the folder where the code used to be, IntelliJ has been behaving in a weird manner. It shows me a lot of unable to find declaration to go to errors. After changing the folder where my project used to be, I changed the GOPATH and imported from the new directory once again.
I am attaching the screenshot as that will be better for understanding.
See the conductor.Start(). This function is right there in the package app. But it can't find this.
PS: I have tried importing the project from scratch and invalidating and restarting multiple times, but that didn't help.
I'm using Gogland, which is also a JetBrains IDE, but I also had a problem with symbols not getting resolved.
I fixed it by deleting the project's index file.
Close the IDE.
In your project directory, find a directory named ".idea".
Delete all files with the extension ".iml" in that directory.
Restart the IDE.
The project should get reindexed and symbols will be resolved.

For my case, Intellij didn't have Rust installed. I found that out while trying to create a new project (it had JAVA and other language support). As soon as I installed Rust, it worked.
For my case, I have 2 virtual environments, and I found that I did not set the correct environment in Pycharm. The environment I used did not include these packages. After I changed the environment, everything goes well.

Why does IntelliJ IDEA 13.1 show sbt files with so many lines in red?

I had a working sbt based project. After some small change that I can not specifically identify all the sbt files are having object resolution issues (see screenshots).
I tried the following:
sbt refresh
project rebuild
reimport project
These did not work.
Then I started going farther afield to resolve the issue. I copied the *.sbt files from another project on top of the ones in this project. Still no dice. Now I do not have time presently to actually completely destroy, rebuild the project from scratch - and in any case that does not lead to any insight on the root cause here.
Has anyone experienced this issue - and any suggestions on remedies/workarounds?
Update I finally tried
sbt gen-idea
even though this project was **not ** built that way.. It did make a difference: at least the crazy errors went away. But now a different set of problems arises: the assembly and packaging imports are not being resolved (see LAST screenshot). But this seems a bit more healthy at least .
Following screenshot is after running sbt gen-idea. Situation has improved but now get assembly/packaging import errors.
Another update
OK, I have quit and restarted IJ and things are finally back.
So the objective changes that I made:
sbt gen-idea
stop/restart IJ
This is feeling like magic incantations here .. Not a solid process.
A sort of a workaround could be to upgrade to the latest EAP of IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.3 build 135.909, released on May 23rd, 2014. It comes with more sophisticated Scala plugin that is much clever than the previous versions and hopefully could help here and there.

Can't find java.util.stream in java8

I have installed jdk-8-ea-bin-b82-windows-x64-21_mar_2013 and IntelliJ IDEA 12.0.4. The strange thing is that I can't find java.util.stream in the intellisense provided by the IDE. I tried to compile either using the IDE or using the notepad and the compiler but it gives an error complaining that java.util.stream cannot be found! I have already set the module settings to use Java8 jdk. Any ideas about this problem?
I had the same problem with Netbeans. It seams that older versions of JDK 8 are not correctly packaged.
I had the same problem with b84, but I installed the build b116 and it is working properly.
PS: I think this is what #rmuller said in his comment
To change the JDK version, go to File --> Project Structure, and make sure both Project SDK and Project Language Level are set to JDK 8.
(I know you said you set the JDK level in the modules already, but I'm posting this here because there is relatively little information online on how to do that. Even the IDEA documentation on this issue doesn't mention it!)
Try to download from: http://jdk8.java.net/lambda/ to have lambda and stream support
As #rmuller pointed out there was no streams in the early release version that I have downloaded 5 years ago when I asked the question. Short while after I asked the question a new release was available and it contained the streams support.

Why IDEA doesn't load default jars?

I've got a similar to this post problem, the only difference is that it's opposite. :D I've got only jdk (using jre from jdk package). When I add this in SDKs section, I suppose IDEA should load all the necessary libs from jdk_path/jre/lib, but it doesn't.
What's strange is that the first time I add jdk classpath settings are just great.
This looks more like a bug. Whenever apply key is pressed, default jars that were added to classpath earlier are just gone. Pressing OK in stead of Apply is a valid workaround. This should be reported in a bug trace system.
