I installed Gradle 2.7 in my C:\ directory for Windows 7. Created a gradle.properties file in the Gradle directory containing the following: org.gradle.java.home = “c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03” Include the following the in gradle build file: apply plugin: “java” When I run “gradle assemb…

You might try changing that value to “c:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_03”.

Don’t use quotes around the path, see How to change JAVA_HOME using gradle.proeprties?
