Hi Gradle Forum,
My issue is that i am new to gradle and am trying to install and run gradle 2.4
When i run gradle command through the command line i get the following error and i do not know what to do.
Please help me

The exeptionis as below:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerFactory cannot be cast to org.gradle.logging.internal.slf4j.OutputEventListenerBackedLoggerContext

  • Try:
    Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Next time you ask a question, try to write a more appropriate subject line, and make sure it’s in the right category. This question has nothing to do with Buildship.

Do you by any chance have a “slf” jar in $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext (or the equivalent location on whatever platform you’re on)? One person with a similar experience had that problem (http://gradle.1045684.n5.nabble.com/Installing-Gradle-on-Mac-Ox-X-td4283558.html).

Changing the category for the post takes a a few click only, so no harm was done :smile:
One quick suggestion: if you are new to Gradle, can you try using the latest 2.7 release?
