I'm trying to set "org.gradle.java.home" property in gradle.properties file to run my Gradle project on Java 8 while the rest of my system uses Java 7. Hence, JAVA_HOME is pointing to JDK 7 and not 8.
The problem is that I can't hardcode it to the properties file because other developers might have a different path or version of Java 8. So, I wanted to use an environment variable in the properties file like this:
org.gradle.java.home=MY_PROJECT_GRADLE_JAVA_HOME
That didn't work.
Does anybody know how can I use environment variables in gradle.properties or has another solution?

Gradle can also set project properties when it sees specially-named system properties or environment variables. If the environment variable name looks like ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_prop=somevalue , then Gradle will set a prop property on your project object, with the value of somevalue .
Try to use ./gradlew -Dorg. gradle. jvmargs=-Xmx16g wrapper , pay attention on -D , this marks the property to be passed to gradle and jvm. Using -P a property is passed as gradle project property.
Gradle uses whatever JDK it finds in your path. Alternatively, you can set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the installation directory of the desired JDK.
You can edit your gradlew.bat file, and make all developers use this (wrapper) gradle, and not local installation. Edit it, and anywhere it uses the JAVA_HOME use your env variable instead.
