I am trying to import Gradle project in Intellij Idea with local Gradle distrib and getting stacktrace with the following message: Could not target platform: \'Java SE

Answer 1

For IntelliJ 2019, JDK 13 and gRPC:

Intellij IDEA -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle JVM

and Select correct version.

you might also have to adding below line in your build.gradle dependencies

compileOnly group: 'javax.annotation', name: 'javax.annotation-api', version: '1.3.2'
