In the 'Project Settings' window, go to 'JDKs' section that you see under'Platform Settings'. Click the little plus sign and choose 'JSDK'. A file chooser should open in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions directory. If not then just navigate to it. There you can choose the version you would like to add.
IntelliJ should detect your installed JDK's, as they are in a standard location that Apple provides. If you want source code for the JDK, you can download that from Apple as well. Sign up for a free ADC account and then you can get access.
For global libraries, I've been enjoying the Maven integration in the recent release. It alleviates the need to setup global libraries by pulling things from the Maven repository. It will download source and javadoc jars as well.
