 Description  « Hide
Most users don't understand what the sandbox is for, and there's no reason to. You should just create a new folder in ~/.IntelliJIdea/ called sandboxN where N is a number, so if I create 3 IDEA JDK's, one will be sandbox1, the next will use sandbox2, and so on.

I thought we fixed this in 5.1? A default sandbox path should now specified for every created IDEA JDK.

Well, it doesn't ever work for me. Maybe a unit test would prevent it from regressing again in the future.
