Answer 1

The problem is your gradle build is not finding the JAVA_HOME path or JDK folder. So, you could declare the path in gradle.properties like org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\[or yours jdk folder name].

Use this guide for using gradle.properties.

Or (and I prefer this solution) include JAVA_HOME path in systmem variables and restart CMD.
