Gradle does not find tools jar

Question

I am using javadoc doclets with gradle  so I need to use the package tools jar  which is in the lib folder from the jdk  1 6 0 26 in my case    The point is that gradle does not take it automatically  so I was adding that tools package to my libs folder  and then adding it to dependencies gradle     Now I want to take it directly from my JDK home into my dependencies gradle  Is there a way to do that  I have tried the next in my dependencies gradle   compile files    System properties  java home    lib tools jar     But it does not find it while compiling

Like other answers I set org gradle java home property in gradle properties file  But path with   separators did not work  building on windows 10        Java home supplied via  org gradle java home  is invalid  Invalid   directory  C Program FilesJavajdk1 8 0 65   So instead of      org gradle java home C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 65   i had to use     org gradle java home C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 65   then the build was successful  Problem is that project is build with JRE instead of JDK and since I was building it from eclipse this also worked    In Window Preferences Gradle Arguments specify Workspace JRE and specify your JDK   In Window Preferences Java InstalledJREs specify your JDK as default

Found it  System property  java home  is not JAVA HOME environment variable  JAVA HOME points to the JDK  while java home points to the JRE  See that page for more info   Soo    My problem was that my startpoint was the jre folder  C  jdk1 6 0 26 jre  and not the jdk folder  C  jdk1 6 0 26  as I thought tools jar is on the C  jdk1 6 0 26 lib folder    The compile line in dependencies gradle should be   compile files    System properties  java home       lib tools jar

It may be two years too late  but I ran into the same problem recently and this is the solution I ended up with after finding this post   import javax tools ToolProvider  dependencies     compile       files   URLClassLoader  ToolProvider getSystemToolClassLoader    getURLs                     It should work if java home points to a directory that s not under the JDK directory and even on Mac OS where you d have classes jar instead of tools jar

My solution on Mac  add this line to gradle properties  org gradle java home  Library Java JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 271 jdk Contents Home  not this one  org gradle java home  Library Internet Plug-Ins JavaAppletPlugin plugin Contents Home  you can open the last home directory and will find that there is no lib tools jar file existence  so change the path to JavaVirtualMachines jdk1 8 0 271 jdk and it works for me  By the way  in the terminal  I echo the  JAVA HOME and it gets the first path  not the second one  I think this is why my Gradle cannot work properly
