Gradle Could not find tools.jar

Question

I am trying to make a game with LibGdx. I love it! It is sooo simple and a lot better than JME3 and LWJGL. But trying to package it I am having an error. Here is an image of the gui for Gradle: http://prntscr.com/845kyx and here is a the full debug error: http://pastebin.com/ugdfySg1 Now I don't know how to debug those errors and what not, so I hope someone can help. I have also tried to re-create the entire project, and make it a eclipse valid project, instead of just Gradle. None of that worked.

Answer 1

I have a file called gradle.properties at the root of my project with the following property:

org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_74 

org.gradle.java.home needs to point to a valid JDK location.

Without this file, I get the same error (Could not find tools.jar). With the file present, this is no longer an issue.
