Setting JAVA_HOME for intelliJ?

Issue

So i decided to try the beta of android studio today, but it refuses to run on my 32-bit JRE. I can download the 64-bit JRE, but im not interested in it being my default JRE for various reasons (my current 32-bit eclipse IDE, Processing IDE and Minecraft doesn't like 64-bit to my experiences), and i think that swithing java_home dir all the time will be cumbersome.

So does intelliJ have some way of setting an alternative JAVA_HOME dir like eclipse does in its ini?

Solution

I use IDEA_JDK for this purpose (on linux).

I believe it is STUDIO_JDK for android studio.
