IntelliJ/Gradle Could not determine java version from '11.0.1'

Question

I\'m running a Linux Ubuntu 18 OS. Installed jdk in a custom local directory.

Normally, IntelliJ recommends that you use the default gradle wrapper. But

Answer 1

Your gradle is too old for that JDK, upgrade your gradle or downgrade you JDK

Answer 2

Reintalling Intellij Worked for me. You need to uninstall first before reinstall. While uninstalling, ensure to select option to delete older cache and settings

Answer 3

If you use IntelliJ

Checks:

1. Navigate to:

   File >> Settings >> Build, Execution, Deployment >> Build Tools >> Gradle.

   Alongside Gradle JVM: make sure you select the correct version of Java.

2. Navigate to: Right-Click 'Project Root Directory' & Select Open Module Settings. Project Structure windows shows-up. Make sure your JDK home path is added to the Platform Settings >> SDKs : JDK home path

3. Still, on the same window Project Structure, select correct SDK relevant to your project under

   Project Settings >> Modules : Module SDK

4. Fix/Solution: Nvavigate to & open: gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties & update the distributionUrl version to the latest version. In my case (at the time of this post), my older version was:

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-bin.zip

   And my latest version is:

   distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-bin.zip

   As shown below:

5. In your build.gradle file make sure you set:

   sourceCompatibility = 11

Answer 4

check , maybe you have 2 times gradle in path

Answer 5

I noticed a subtlety in the way you download the IDE from jetbains.com

You probably want JBR 8 and not JBR 11. Also, make sure your JDK is setup properly with jbsdk bintray downloader plugin.

Answer 6

If you are using the latest version of intellijIdea.

In my case, 2019.1 -version

Delete the directory idea's jdk

then RESTART idea.

Hope this is working for you !

In chinese:

(If you can't read chinese,you needn't to read this.All you need to know have typed above already)

如果你是用最新版本的intellijidea.由于intellijidea默认安装了11的java。而且就算你输入java -verison,告诉你是java8，在ide里面也配置了java 8 idea还是告诉你这个错误。

只有通过删除idea自己下载java11版本，可以解决这个问题。直接删除应用包下的jdk文件夹，重启idea就可以。如下图。
