I was trying to debug why I was getting a reflection error when trying to integrate sonarqube.

Thank you for your consideration. My plan is to try to get gradle to swallow the system.err. I have an absurdly large project structure with a master project and another that get added to the build via settings.gradle. I think this structure is part of the problem, but I need to be sure before I propose changes.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting it here.

Do you use the IBM Semeru runtime to run Gradle? If so, can you upgrade to the latest Gradle Enterprise Gradle plugin 3.8.1 and try again?

If not what JDK version and distribution do you use ? Can you paste the output of gradle -v and java -version here ?

Regards,

Guy

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

I don’t knowingly run Semeru, but that might be an external name for the runtimes IBM has me using, I’m an IBM employee and we have to use their own runtimes/jdk. It turns out that seems to be the case.

Ok thanks for the info. There was an issue with OpenJ9 version 0.29.0 that caused downstream errors on our end. You’d need to upgrade your IBM Semeru runtime to a version that is based on OpenJ9 version 0.30.0 such that this issue is fixed. As shown on this page, it must be 11.0.14.0 or later that you need to install.

thanks for your help, my issues are resolved. properly setting JAVA_HOME updates the java -version
