Can not build gradle project with jdk 17

[NamekMaster]

My project requires jdk 17 to build. I use jenv to manage jdk and I set it to use java 17 locally but it seems the extension always use 21 to build project. I can build the project successfully in the terminal. I think the extension should use the java configured in java_home to build the project. java home:

echo $JDK_HOME
/Users/user/.jenv/versions/17

Error log:

I tried to add the config below but still not working

  "java.configuration.runtimes": [
    {
      "name": "JavaSE-17",
      "path": "/Users/user/.jenv/versions/17",
      "default": true
    }
  ],
  "gradle.java.home": "/Users/user/.jenv/versions/17"

Assuming you're using gradle to build your project, how are you telling gradle that your project needs Java 17 to compile and not whatever is available? Btw: doesn't gradle use JAVA_HOME, not JDK_HOME? Have you tried setting java.import.gradle.java.home?

[NamekMaster]

java.import.gradle.java.home is working. But I am confused why JAVA_HOME is not supported in this extension. Build the project in terminal is good with JAVA_HOME. According to official documents, gradle should use JAVA_HOME and I haven't heard about JDK_HOME. I supposed that JAVA_HOME is a more commonly used variable. On the other hand, I prefer JAVA_HOME because it leverages the benefit of jenv or other environment manager program. I think it's also not a good idea that creating more and more variables in different build tools.

[tsmaeder]

echo $JDK_HOME /Users/user/.jenv/versions/17

🤷

Btw. where did you copy the error log from? If from the "Output" view, which channel did you copy?

[NamekMaster]

@tsmaeder It seems like that there is a command called "Java: Show Build Job Status" will open in "Terminal" view. I can't reproduce this problem again now even if I remove the java.import.gradle.java.home. When you start the project, a notification will show on the left bottom as shown below, you can also click the "check details" to see the logs.
