Error occurred during initialization of VM. Failed setting boot class path

I’m a beginner so I’m sorry if this is a stupid problem.
I tried to run gradlew genSource and got this error:
VirtualMachineError
I had to change the java version from 8 to 16 early and I’m still not sure if there is some path that need to be adjusted and this is related.
I’m using intellij IDEA.

What version of Gradle is your project using? Gradle does not support running in Java 16 until version 7+.

I’m using Gradle 7.0.2

if you face this type error then please change your JDK I think your JDK is corrupted
I can face same issue

I can download JDK 11.0.16
then set path in environment variable
setting->environment variable->system variable ->Path->add here your JDK path like this
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.16\bin

and it’s work
