Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The important error in the log is: Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.privateLookupIn(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandles$Lookup;)Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandles$Lookup; which in turn is caused by the debian/patches/java11-compatibility.patch that introduces a patch to handle the missing unsafe features from OpenJDK 11 by using MethodHandles instead. Unfortunately this means that gradle won't work with OpenJDK 8 until this patch is reworked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820389 Title: Gradle on OpenJDK 8: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.privateLookupIn() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gradle/+bug/1820389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
