Changing Boot JDK

For earlier versions you of JebBrain IDEs can find the instructions in Selecting the JDK version the IDE will run under.

For later products, starting with build 141 (not sure about the exact build cutoff, could be ), you can add a boot jdk config file to the product's configuration directory with the full path of the location of the JDK you want the product to use:

Product Boot JDK Config File
InjelliJ IDEA Ultimate & Community Edition idea.jdk
PhpStorm phpstorm.jdk
WebStorm webstorm.jdk
PyCharm pycharm.jdk
Other products probably follow a similar naming convention. feel free to add to this list.

The list of directories used by the IDE is operating system dependent, see Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs – JetBrains Support
