I am a new user of Linux, it has been recommended to me by my friend.

He told me to install software called IntelliJ Idea IDE.

Well I have been following the tutorial. But now when I try to open "idea.sh", an error message pops-up:

'tools.jar' is not in IDEA classpath.
Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE.

Please remember that I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm planning for a nice long stay once I get myself into it :)

Also I do not know if I am running a correct Java6 JDK. When I do java -version, this is what I get:

java version "1.6.0_23"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre10-0ubuntu5)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)

Thank You for reading this and I hope I will get a nice response.
