when I set

export GRADLE_OPTS="-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED"

as suggested at different places, issue remains the same.

Kindly help me out in resolving the issue.

UPDATE: Changed GRADLE_OPTS to (wrapped)

export GRADLE_OPTS="-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=
  --add-opens java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
  --add-opens java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
  --add-opens java.io=ALL-UNNAMED"

Got the following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED

I was having two different versions. jdk 11 and 20. I was getting this kind of error Execution failed for task ':compileJava'. while running with 20. However after switching to JDK 11 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11 I am able to overcome the error

Gradle - java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

It can be because of [Could not find tools.jar]

I figured it out when downgraded com.android.tools.build:gradle

When I hit this error rerunning with the argument --stacktrace produced a much more intelligible error message in one of the exceptions that was causing this problem in my build script.

The challenge with debugging this is that it happens so early in Gradle (the initialization phase) that not a lot of error message information is available, so it is best to try to debug it from the stacktrace.

Even if you don't get a good message from one of the exceptions, the classes and methods from the stack should give some indication of what Gradle was doing at the time just before it threw.

3 years later, 2020:

I could build my project with both ./gradlew build and gradle build (v 6.2.1 and 6.5), but IntelliJ Idea gave me:

Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.
> java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError (no error message)

I tried to File--Invalidate Caches/Restart, but that did not help, at least by itself. Then I reloaded the gradle project (the leftmost top icon in the Gradle window) and run the Tasks--application--run task from the Gradle window. It worked, and then "Run" worked too (no surprise here, the button seems to repeat the last run).

Upgrading Gradle to 4.10.2 version and Java JDK 8 to 1.8.0_191 version worked for me.

Hope it helps!

I was able to make gradle work using Java 9-ea by running the following terminal command:

export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS='--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED'

-via https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1095

-Added this to /etc/profile so that it runs on startup
