Could not determine java version from '9.0.1'

sormuras · October 18, 2017, 8:13am

Using Gradle 4.1 and jdk-9.0.1_windows-x64_bin.exe from http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/9.0.1+11 leads to the following error:

What went wrong:
Could not determine java version from ‘9.0.1’.

See log at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/marcphilipp/junit5/build/1924

Would an upgrade to Gradle 4.3 solve this issue? ( And introduce another one: https://github.com/ajoberstar/gradle-git-publish/issues/35 )

sormuras · October 18, 2017, 8:54am

Yes, upgrading to Gradle 4.3-rc-2 helped.

Stefan_Wolf · October 21, 2017, 8:53pm

Please use 4.2.1, the problem has been fixed there.

codeblooded · October 27, 2017, 5:22am

I’m using 4.2.1 and I’m still experiencing this issue.

Stefan_Wolf · October 27, 2017, 8:45am

@codeblooded It should work. Could you provide a little bit more information about the failure you are seeing? A stacktrace or a build scan would be great!

Thanks,
Stefan

I’m hitting this issue too.

my gradlew stacktrace looks like this :

fixed it. Had to change project settings to point to correct version of Gradle

to175 · November 1, 2017, 11:02am

Hi, how did you solve it please ? I have the exact same error with gradle 4.2.1 when I run gradlew build in spring project folder…

build.gradle of spring :

buildscript {
	ext {
		springBootVersion = '1.5.8.RELEASE'
	}
	repositories {
		mavenCentral()
	}
	dependencies {
		classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
	}
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter')
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
	compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools')
	testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

sormuras · November 1, 2017, 11:27am

I solved it by upgrading to 4.3…

to175 · November 1, 2017, 11:45am

sormuras · November 1, 2017, 11:46am

See https://gradle.org/install/

to175 · November 1, 2017, 12:44pm

Thanks but 4.3, released on 30 Oct 2017… How did people do 3 days ago ?

Please help @RichLinnell

First run gradlew --version and then read Gradle | Installation

I fixed it by changing distributionUrl in the file [project]\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to point to disribution of version 4.3. (Bottom line.)

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

Stefan_Wolf · November 2, 2017, 8:12am

You need to make sure you updated the wrapper jar and the version of Gradle you want to run to at least 4.2.1.
This means that you also need to run the wrapper task with a Gradle version >= 4.2.1 or run the wrapper task twice:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 4.2.1 --no-daemon
./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 4.2.1 --no-daemon

Note that I added the --no-daemon flag since the daemon won’t help much given that it will be used only once for each wrapper invocation.

Thanks but I have this

@to175 You cannot use the src distribution to run Gradle. Please use -bin or -all, e.g. in your gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.3-bin.zip

Sorry I don’t understand can you be more specific please, what can I do concretly ?
