Import gradle project into IntelliJ

Question

I have IntelliJ 12.0 on and gradle 1.2. on Windows 7. When I try to import the build.gradle file, I get the following error message in IntelliJ. I'm a little lost here. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Answer 1

my fix: File -> Project Structure -> change the jdk path so that there is no jre.

I'm not sure how he got there, but it took me forever to track. Perhaps because he took the settings from a previous bad installation.

Answer 2

It looks like it can be fixed in 12.1 or 12 EAP: IDEA-102365 , IDEA-89697

Answer 3

Although I did not find the main reason from which different javaHomes were taken, at least I found a workaround that worked for me:

Try setting the following in gradle.properties (either in %USERPROFILE%\.gradle\ , or in your dir project):

 org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 12.0\jre 

Answer 4

IntelliJ v15.0.6, same problem.

I am using a JRE, which is not the one that is built into IntelliJ.

• I made sure JAVA_HOME points to my JRE, then
• I deleted "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ JetBrains \ IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.6 \", then
• I restarted IntelliJ.

Now my gradle build scripts work fine with IntelliJ.
