I'm trying to set "org.gradle.java.home" property in gradle.properties file to run my gradle project on Java 8 while the rest of my system uses Java 7. Hence, JAVA_HOME is pointing to jdk 7 and not 8....
The problem is that i can't hardcode it to the properties file because other developers might have a different path or version of java 8. So, I wanted to set a environment value in the properties file like:
org.gradle.java.home = MY_PROJECT_GRADLE_JAVA_HOME.
That didn't work. does anybody know how can i use environment values in gradle.properties or has another solution?
You can edit your gradlew.bat file, and make all developers use this (wrapper) gradle, and not local installation.
Edit it, and anywhere it uses the JAVA_HOME use your env variable instead.
It will not work. One possible solutions is to save hardcoded property to user's gradle.properties. Extract from docs:
You can also add properties to your project objects using properties
files. You can place a gradle.properties file in the Gradle user home
directory (defined by the “GRADLE_USER_HOME” environment variable,
which if not set defaults to USER_HOME/.gradle) or in your project
directory.
