title: How do I change the IntelliJ IDEA default JDK?
body: <p>I use IntelliJ IDEA as my development environment, and Maven for dependency management.  I frequently build my project structure (directories, poms, etc) outside of IDEA and then import the project into IDEA using <code>Import project from external model</code>.  This works great, except that in my poms I specify that the maven-compiler-plugin should use JDK 1.6, and when I import, IDEA informs me that the <code>Language Level Changed</code> and that <code>Language level changes will take effect on project reload</code>, and then prompts to reload the project.  This is annoying because I always use the same JDK version.</p>
  
  <p>How do I change the default JDK that IntelliJ IDEA uses, so that I don't have to reload my project every time I import a new project?</p>
