无法在Eclipse中执行Gradle构建

Question

I create new Gradle project in Eclipse Luna but when I try to execute Gradle build through the Gradle plugin in eclipse I get an error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.

  Cannot find System Java Compiler. Ensure that you have installed a JDK (not just a JRE) and configured your JAVA_HOME system variable to point to the according directory.

The thing is JAVA_HOME is setted and running gradle build through the cmd is OK . I create two files in the same directory where build.gradle is located, there are: gradle.properties :

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_60

and local.properties :

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_60

UPD: When I try to delete and re-import that project, it works fine. When I click to the build model button it's also ok. But when I'm trying to execute build task, it doesn't workd.

Answer 1

Here is how this issue can be fixed.

1. Go to Eclipse-Luna menu Windows>Prefernces
2. Select Gradle>Arguments
3. Update Workspace JRE : to point to a jdk instead of jre as Gradle requires jdk for code compilation.

Here is where to update you installed JRE in eclipse. As you can see I have added a jdk.
