Intellij idea says Java Home is Different

Question

The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected. It won\'t be possible to reconnect to this daemon. Context mismatch:
Java home is different.

Answer 1

Though I did not find the root cause where the different javaHomes have been taken from, at least I found a workaround that worked for me:

Try setting the following in your gradle.properties (either in $HOME/.gradle/ or in your project build dir):

org.gradle.java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
