Because wrapper version does not support 11+ you can make simple trick to cheat newer version of InteliJ forever.

  press3x Shift -> type "Switch Boot JDK" -> and change for java 8.

https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/05/intellij-idea-14-1-4-eap-141-1192-is-available/

Or If you want to work with java 11+ you simply have to update wrapper version to 4.8+

There are two different Gradle applications in your system   the system-wide Gradle This application is invoked by gradle  arguments    the gradle-wrapper The gradle-wrapper is specific to every project and can only be invoked inside the project s directory  using the command   gradlew  arguments     Your system-wide gradle version is 5 1 1  as the OP explained in the comments   running the command gradle --version returned version 5 1 1   However  the failure is the result of a call to the gradle-wrapper    gradlew   Could you check your project s gradle wrapper version  To do that  execute   gradlew --version inside your project s folder  in the directory where the gradlew and gradlew bat files are  Update 1  As running   gradlew --version failed  you can manually check your wrapper s version by opening the file    project s root folder  gradle wrapper gradle-wrapper properties  with a simple text editor  The  quot distributionUrl quot  inside should tell us what the wrapper s version is  Update 2  As per the OP s updated question  the gradle-wrapper s version is 4 1RC1  Gradle added support for JDK 11 in Gradle 5 0  Hence since 4 1RC does not support running on JDK 11 this is definitely a problem  The obvious way  would be to update your project s gradle-wrapper to version 5 0  However  before updating  try running gradle app installDebug  This will use your system-wide installed Gradle whose version is 5 1 1 and supports running on Java 11  If this works  then your buildscript  file build gradle  is not affected by any breaking changes between v 4 1RC1 and v 5 1 1 and you can then update your wrapper by executing from the command line inside your project s folder  gradle wrapper --gradle-version 5 1 1      If gradle app installDebug fails to execute correctly  then maybe you need to upgrade your Gradle buildscript  For updating from v 4 1RC1 to 5 1 1  the Gradle project provides a guide  1  2  with breaking changes and deprecated features between minor releases  so that you can update gradually to the latest version  Alternatively  if for some reason you can t or don t want to upgrade your Gradle buildscript  you can always choose to downgrade your Java version to one that Gradle 4 1RC1 supports running on      As correctly pointed out in the answer by  lupchiazoem  use gradle wrapper --gradle-version 5 1 1  and not   gradlew as I had originally posted there by mistake   The reason is Gradle runs on Java  You can update your gradle-wrapper using any working Gradle distribution  either your system-wide installed Gradle or the gradle-wrapper itself  However  in this case your wrapper is not compatible with your installed Java version  so you do have to use the system-wide Gradle  aka gradle and not   gradlew

I ran into the same issue in Ubuntu 18 04 3 LTS  In my case  apt installed gradle version 4 4 1  The already-install java version was 11 0 4  The build message I got was  Could not determine java version from  11 0 4     At the time  most of the online docs referenced gradle version 5 6  so I did the following   sudo add-apt-repository ppa cwchien gradle sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade gradle   Then I repeated the project initialiation  using  gradle init  with the defaults   After that     gradlew build  worked correctly   I later read a comment regarding a change in format of the output from  java --version  that caused gradle to break  which was fixed in a later version of gradle

tl dr  downgrade java by running update-alternatives    My system gradle version was 4 4 1  and the gradle wrapper version was 4 0  After running the command given by several other answers   gradle wrapper --gradle-version 4 4 1   I still had the same error   FAILURE  Build failed with an exception     What went wrong  Could not determine java version from  11 0 4     It turns out java 11 wasn t supported until gradle 4 8  and my software repositories only had 4 4 1   Also  upgrading to newer gradle version might have been incompatible with the package I was trying to compile    The answer was to downgrade java  My system actually had java8 already installed  and it was easy to switch between java versions by running this command and following the instructions   sudo update-alternatives --config java
