.Unable to start the daemon process

Hey Everyone, I’m really hoping I can get some help.

I’ve been trying to mod a Minecraft client recently, I’m not sure if that information will help here, but I was told to run a gradlew eclipse genEclipseRuns command in my command prompt on windows 10. But whenever I run it it’s supposed to say something like “build successful”. But Instead, I get this.

C:\Users\balle\Desktop\Basics>gradlew eclipse genEclipseRuns

Can someone please try to help me?

I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?

What does it say when running with --stacktrace?

Hm, that’s pretty unenlightening. :frowning:
Can you try with -d?

There are two fishy things jumping into my eye immediately.

  1. You use an incompatible Java version. As you use an ancient Gradle version (4.9), you also need to use an ancient Java to run it (at most Java 10): Compatibility Matrix

  2. C:\Users\Name.gradle\ also looks fishy, should usually be C:\Users\Name\.gradle\

When I type: java -version into cmd I get:
openjdk version “17.0.6” 2023-01-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.6+10 (build 17.0.6+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.6+10 (build 17.0.6+10, mixed mode, sharing)
So I asumed my java was new enough…
Or is this the one that is to new? I dont know what the two types of Java are, that you are talking about.
It should probably say “Gradle”:

So all I have to do is make shure that I grab an older version of the JDK?

Yes, that was a typo, should of course be “Gradle” in the first spot.
Updated.
And yes, that could be enough. Still not sure about the second point, or was that just badly redacted?

Ok I ran the command again and it seemed to have worked.
Now i gett this error but I dont know if this is even a problem…

> Task :downloadAssets FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':downloadAssets'.

  Some assets failed to download or validate, try running the task again.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.
Use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See https://docs.gradle.org/4.9/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

As the build failed it is probably a problem. But probably something specific to that MC plugin I’d guess. Can you show a build --scan?

It seems to have worked now…
Thabks for your help
