Check your SDKs or change your Intellij JDK

If you've upgraded a JDK recently make sure to check that the SDK paths are correct. It doesn't have to be the SDK you're currently using your project, it can be another version. To do this on MacOSX press F4 at the project to go to its project structure settings. Here click on SDKs and make sure that each Java JDK points to a valid folder. For example in my case the JDK 6 SDK pointed to a folder that no longer existed and once I updated that I could import the Gradle project. It's of course also possible to delete a JDK from IntelliJ if it has been removed from disk.

On a different occasion I ran into the same problem again but this time my JDKs all seemed to be in order so I couldn't figure out what was going on. After a good deal of trail and error I tried changing the JDK version used to start IntelliJ itself from JDK 6 to JDK 8 and this resolved the problem. To do this you need to edit the Info.plist located at /Applications/.app/Contents/Info.plist. Scroll down to the section that says JVMVersion and change its value to 1.8*. For example:

JVMVersion 1.8* Hope this will help you:)
