How do I tell Gradle to use specific JDK version?

问题:

I can\'t figure out to get this working.

Scenario:

• I have an application built with gradle
• The application uses JavaFX

What I want

• Use a variable (defined per developer machine) which points to an installation of a JDK which will be used for building the whole application / tests / ...

I thought about having the gradle.properties file, defining the variable. Something like

JAVA_HOME_FOR_MY_PROJECT=<path to my desired JDK>

What I don\'t want

• point JAVA_HOME to the desired JDK

I could live with many suggestions:

• a solution that defines a system environment variable which I\'m able to check in my build.gradle script
• a variable defined in gradle.properties
• overriding the JAVA_HOME variable only for the build context (something like use JAVA_HOME=<my special JDK path defined somewhere else defined>)
• something else I didn\'t think about

Question:

• How to wire a variable (how ever defined, as variable in the gradle.properties, system environment variable, ...) to the build process?

I have more than one JDK7 available and need to point to a special version (minimum JDK_u version).

Any answer is appreciated and I\'m thankful for every hint to the right direction.

Two ways

1. In gradle.properties in the .gradle directory in your HOME_DIRECTORY set org.gradle.java.home=/path_to_jdk_directory

2. In your build.gradle

   compileJava.options.fork = true
   compileJava.options.forkOptions.executable = /path_to_javac
   

回答2:

If you add JDK_PATH in gradle.properties your build become dependent on on that particular path. Instead Run gradle task with following command line parametemer

gradle build -Dorg.gradle.java.home=/JDK_PATH

This way your build is not dependent on some concrete path.

To people ending up here when searching for the Gradle equivalent of the Maven property maven.compiler.source (or <source>1.8</source>):

In build.gradle you can achieve this with

apply plugin: \'java\'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

See the Gradle documentation on this.

回答4:

If you are using linux and gradle wrapper you can use following solution.

Add path to local.properties file:

javaHome=<path to JDK>

Add to your gradlew script file:

DIR=$( cd \"$( dirname \"${BASH_SOURCE[0]}\" )\" && pwd )
source $DIR/local.properties 2>/dev/null

if ! [ -z \"$javaHome\" ]
then
  JAVA_HOME=$javaHome
fi

In this solution, each developer can set his own JDK path. File local.properties shouldn\'t be included in version control system.

回答5:

I added this line in my GRADLE_HOME/bin/gradle file - export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/version

回答6:

There is one more option to follow. In your gradle tasks, you can set your desired jdk path. (I know this is a while since the question was posted. This answer can help someone.)

Right click on the deploy or any other task and select \"Open Gradle Run Configuration...\"

Then navigate to \"Java Home\" and paste your desired java path.

Please note that, bin will be added by the gradle task itself. So don\'t add the \"bin\" to the path.

回答7:

As seen in Gradle (Eclipse plugin)

http://www.gradle.org/get-started

Gradle uses whichever JDK it finds in your path (to check, use java -version). Alternatively, you can set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the install directory of the desired JDK.

If you are using this Eclipse plugin or Enide Studio 2014, alternative JAVA_HOME to use (set in Preferences) will be in version 0.15, see http://www.nodeclipse.org/history

回答8:

If you are executing using gradle wrapper, you can run the command with JDK path like following

./gradlew -Dorg.gradle.java.home=/jdk_path_directory

回答9:

there is a Gradle plugin that download/bootstraps a JDK automatically:

https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.rmee.jdk-bootstrap

No IDE integration yet and a decent shell required on Windows.

I am using Gradle 4.2 . Default JDK is Java 9. In early day of Java 9, Gradle 4.2 run on JDK 8 correctly (not JDK 9).

I set JDK manually like this, in file %GRADLE_HOME%\\bin\\gradle.bat:

@if \"%DEBUG%\" == \"\" @echo off
@rem ##########################################################################
@rem
@rem  Gradle startup script for Windows
@rem
@rem ##########################################################################

@rem Set local scope for the variables with windows NT shell
if \"%OS%\"==\"Windows_NT\" setlocal

set DIRNAME=%~dp0
if \"%DIRNAME%\" == \"\" set DIRNAME=.
set APP_BASE_NAME=%~n0
set APP_HOME=%DIRNAME%..

@rem Add default JVM options here. You can also use JAVA_OPTS and GRADLE_OPTS to pass JVM options to this script.
set DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS=

@rem Find java.exe
if defined JAVA_HOME goto findJavaFromJavaHome

@rem VyDN-start.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_144\\
@rem VyDN-end.

set JAVA_EXE=java.exe
%JAVA_EXE% -version >NUL 2>&1
if \"%ERRORLEVEL%\" == \"0\" goto init

echo.
echo ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no \'java\' command could be found in your PATH.
echo.
echo Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
echo location of your Java installation.

goto fail

:findJavaFromJavaHome
set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME:\"=%


@rem VyDN-start.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_144\\
@rem VyDN-end.


set JAVA_EXE=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java.exe

if exist \"%JAVA_EXE%\" goto init

echo.
echo ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: %JAVA_HOME%
echo.
echo Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the

goto fail
