Java SDK on NixOS for IntelliJ

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I have recently installed NixOS on my machine,
for Java development I have added IntelliJ CE 14.1.5 and the Oracle JDK 8.



However IntelliJ does not automatically recognize the path to the Java SDK



readlink -f $(which java)
/nix/store/...-oraclejdk-8u60/bin/java


when selecting /bin/ in the "Select Home Directory for JDK" it does not accept it.



I have been searching around for some time now but I can't really find the right stuff to get it working.



Any help is appreciated.

Try



/nix/store/...-oraclejdk-8u60/



Intellij expects the root of JAVA_HOME, and appends bin/java itself.
