My .../gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
contains the following including distributionUrl=.../gradle-4.1-rc-1-all.zip
:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

gradle --version
or ./gradlew --version
? Gradle based projects often use a wrapper to make it easier for different developers to use the same Gradle version to build the project; this also makes builds more stable.
gradle --version
There are two different Gradle applications in your system.
the system-wide Gradle This application is invoked by gradle (arguments). the gradle-wrapper The gradle-wrapper is specific to every project and can only be invoked inside the project's directory, using the command ./gradlew (arguments).
Your system-wide gradle version is 5.1.1 (as the OP explained in the comments, running the command gradle --version
returned version 5.1.1).
However, the failure is the result of a call to the gradle-wrapper (./gradlew
). Could you check your project's gradle wrapper version? To do that, execute ./gradlew --version
inside your project's folder, in the directory where the gradlew and gradlew.bat files are.
Update 1:
As running ./gradlew --version
failed, you can manually check your wrapper's version by opening the file:
(project's root folder)/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
with a simple text editor. The "distributionUrl" inside should tell us what the wrapper's version is.
Update 2: As per the OP's updated question, the gradle-wrapper's version is 4.1RC1.
Gradle added support for JDK 11 in Gradle 5.0. Hence since 4.1RC does not support running on JDK 11 this is definitely a problem.
The obvious way, would be to update your project's gradle-wrapper to version 5.0.
However, before updating, try running gradle app:installDebug
. This will use your system-wide installed Gradle whose version is 5.1.1 and supports running on Java 11. If this works, then your buildscript (file build.gradle) is not affected by any breaking changes between v.4.1RC1 and v.5.1.1 and you can then update your wrapper by executing from the command line inside your project's folder: gradle wrapper --gradle-version=5.1.1
[*].
If gradle app:installDebug
fails to execute correctly, then maybe you need to upgrade your Gradle buildscript. For updating from v.4.1RC1 to 5.1.1, the Gradle project provides a guide (1, 2) with breaking changes and deprecated features between minor releases, so that you can update gradually to the latest version.
Alternatively, if for some reason you can't or don't want to upgrade your Gradle buildscript, you can always choose to downgrade your Java version to one that Gradle 4.1RC1 supports running on.
[*] As correctly pointed out in the answer by @lupchiazoem, use gradle wrapper --gradle-version=5.1.1
(and not ./gradlew
as I had originally posted there by mistake). The reason is Gradle runs on Java. You can update your gradle-wrapper using any working Gradle distribution, either your system-wide installed Gradle or the gradle-wrapper itself. However, in this case your wrapper is not compatible with your installed Java version, so you do have to use the system-wide Gradle (aka gradle
and not ./gradlew
).
As distributionUrl
is still pointing to older version, upgrade wrapper using:
gradle wrapper --gradle-version 5.1.1
Note: Use gradle
and not gradlew
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
Version 6 with JDK12 doesn't seem to work. 5.1.1 works fine, thank you.
Updating gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
with the following version fixed it for me:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
In my case the JAVA_HOME
variable was set to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.2/
. It was sufficient to unset the variable like this:
$ export JAVA_HOME=
GRADLE_HOME
was updated(to 5.4.1``) but not gradle version(still pointing to older version 4.3
) which is weird but restarting terminal worked fine. something weird with source ~/.bash_profile
tl;dr: downgrade java by running update-alternatives
My system gradle version was 4.4.1, and the gradle wrapper version was 4.0. After running the command given by several other answers:
gradle wrapper --gradle-version 4.4.1
I still had the same error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Could not determine java version from '11.0.4'.
It turns out java 11 wasn't supported until gradle 4.8, and my software repositories only had 4.4.1. (Also, upgrading to newer gradle version might have been incompatible with the package I was trying to compile.)
The answer was to downgrade java. My system actually had java8 already installed, and it was easy to switch between java versions by running this command and following the instructions:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
I had the same problem here. In my case I need to use an old version of JDK and I'm using sdkmanager to manage the versions of JDK, so, I changed the version of the virtual machine to 1.8.
sdk use java 8.0.222.j9-adpt
After that, the app runs as expected here.
To put long answer short, upgrade your gradlew
using the system gradle
tool. Note that the below upgrade works even if your system gradle
version is < 5
.
gradle wrapper --gradle-version=5.1.1
Because your wrapper version does not support 11+ you can make simple trick to cheat newer version of InteliJ forever.
press3x Shift -> type "Switch Boot JDK" -> and change for java 8.
Or If you want to work with java 11+ you simply have to update wrapper version to 4.8+
I've had the same issue. Upgrading to gradle 5.0 did the trick for me.
This link provides detailed steps on how install gradle 5.0
Just goto your "project folder/gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties" and in distibutionUrl where your gradle version is metioned, check the new updated gradle version from here and change it in "distributionUrl" and done!
I had a similar problem: my default gradle wrapper
was version 4.x, while the support for higher versions of Java has been added in Gradle 5.
I've updated my gradlew
as described here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html#sec:upgrading_wrapper
TLTD:
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.6.2
I have the similar issue in Windows with redhat java-11 version, edited the gradle-wrapper.properties and updated the distributionUrl as below with gradle-6.5.1-bin.zip and its working for me.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5.1-bin.zip
I had the same issue in Windows. My gradle configuration was to set use JDK1.8, but JAVA_HOME was configured to use another JDK.
Solution :
Set JAVA_HOME properly based on your configured JDK in gradle

In my case, I was trying to build and get APK for an old Unity 3D project (so that I can play the game in my Android phone). I was using the most recent Android Studio version, and all the SDK packages I could download via SDK Manager in Android Studio. SDK Packages was located in
C:/Users/Onat/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk
And the error message I got was the same except the JDK (Java Development Kit) version "jdk-12.0.2" . JDK was located in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2
And Environment Variable in Windows was JAVA_HOME
: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2
After 3 hours of research, I found out that Unity does not support JDK 10, as told here. My suggestion is:
Uninstall unwanted JDK if you have one installed already. Head here Login to/Open a Oracle account if not already logged in. Download the older but functional JDK 8 for your computer set-up(32 bit/64 bit, Windows/Linux etc.) Install the JDK. Remember the installation path. If you are using Windows, Open Environment Variables and change Java Path via Right click My Computer/This PC>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Environment Variables>New>Variable Name: JAVA_HOME>Variable Value: [YOUR JDK Path, Mine was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221"] In Unity 3D, press Edit > Preferences > External Tools and fill in the JDK path (Mine was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221"). Also, in the same pop-up, edit SDK Path. (Get it from Android Studio > SDK Manager > Android SDK > Android SDK Location.) If needed, restart your computer for changes to take effect.
brew upgrade gradle
and it installed the latest (7.0) version of Gradle. Life is good again.
If you've android studio version 4.2.2 its starts as default Java 11.0.8
Check your version Android Studio -> About Android Studio
Change 11.0.8 to JDK 8
1- Install the JDK8
2- Install the Choose Runtime plugin
3- Open action tab: Command + Shift + A ⇧⌘A
https://i.stack.imgur.com/CDzNm.png
4- Choose runtime and select jdk 8 on list

Navigate to Project/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
and manually changed the distributionUrl to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-bin.zip
and it worked Hope this helps someone.
I solved this by clicking on File -> Project Structure then changed the JDK Location to Use Embedded JDK (Recommended)
Getting this error when doing a cordova build android --release
I was able to resolve this, after trying so so many different things, by simply doing :
npm install cordova -g # to upgrade to version 10.0.0
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android # to upgrade to android version 9.0.0
Head over toandroid/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
and update the distributionUrl
with the latest gradle version.
Go to https://gradle.org/releases/ to get the latest version, then edit it here.
https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-all.zip
7.3.3
being the latest version release.
https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-#latest_gradle-version#-all.zip
I ran into a similar issue. I deleted these:
libraries and caches from the .idea folder ( YourApp > .idea > .. ) AND
contents of the build folder. then rebuild.
* DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR PROJECT FIRST *
I was facing the same issue in Docker setup, while I was trying to install Gradle-2.4
with JDL 11.0.7
. I have to install a later version to fix the issue.
Here is the Working Dockerfile
FROM openjdk:11.0.7-jdk
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip
WORKDIR /gradle
RUN curl -L https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5.1-bin.zip -o gradle-6.5.1-bin.zip
RUN unzip gradle-6.5.1-bin.zip
ENV GRADLE_HOME=/gradle/gradle-6.5.1
ENV PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin
RUN gradle --version
The simplest for a quick and dirty test is to just use an override, for example:
> JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home/ ./gradlew build
since the wrapper checks for JAVA_HOME
you can just pick any you want on each run.
You might missed to install maven please install the maven then please checked. it will work after ....
As others have mentioned, Java 11 support was added in Gradle 5. The solution is to upgrade your Gradle wrapper:
Go here to figure out the latest version of Gradle: https://gradle.org/releases/ Upgrade the Gradle wrapper If you have Gradle installed on your machine: gradle wrapper --gradle-version 7.2 If you don't have Gradle installed: Modify gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties Update distributionUrl with the latest version of Gradle, e.g. distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-bin.zip Upgrade the remaining wrapper files (gradle-wrapper.jar, gradlew, gradlew.bat) ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.2
Since you're upgrading from an old version of Gradle, you'll probably get errors like these:
Could not find method compile() for arguments ...
Could not find method testCompile() for arguments ...
To fix these, edit build.gradle and replace every instance of compile
with implementation
and replace testCompile
with testImplementation
.
I ran into the same issue in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. In my case, apt installed gradle version 4.4.1. The already-install java version was 11.0.4
The build message I got was
Could not determine java version from '11.0.4'.
At the time, most of the online docs referenced gradle version 5.6, so I did the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade gradle
Then I repeated the project initialiation (using gradle init
with the defaults). After that, ./gradlew build
worked correctly.
I later read a comment regarding a change in format of the output from java --version
that caused gradle to break, which was fixed in a later version of gradle.
got to project file.. gradle/wrapper/gradlewrapper.properties
there you can change the value of distributionurl
to what ever the lastest version is. (Found on docs.gradle.org)
Success story sharing
gradle wrapper --gradle-version=5.0
? Replace 5.0 with your desired version, I think now the latest is 5.4
