Importing gradle project in IntelliJ

Question

I have IntelliJ 12.0 on and gradle 1.2. on Windows 7. When I try to import a build.gradle file I get the following error message in IntelliJ. I am a bit lost here. Any ideas

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 %USERPROFILE%\.gradle\ or in your project build dir):

org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 12.0\jre

Answer 2

my fix: File -> Project Structure -> change the jdk path to not have jre.

I'm not sure how it got there, but it took me forever to track down. Perhaps because it picked up settings from a previous bad install.

Answer 3

IntelliJ v15.0.6, same problem.

I'm using a JRE that's not the one that is built into IntelliJ.

• I made sure JAVA_HOME was pointing to my JRE, then
• I deleted "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.6\", then
• I restarted IntelliJ.

Now my gradle build scripts work fine from within IntelliJ.

Looks like it might be fixed in 12.1 or 12 EAP: IDEA-102365, IDEA-89697
