Gradle cannot find JDK

Question

group '...'
version '0.0'

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

test {
    useTestNG()

    beforeTest { descriptor ->
        logger.lifecycle("Running test: " + descriptor)

✗ $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:

Check if you have the JDK correctly configured in your IDE. – Bruno Caceiro Aug 29 '15 at 18:10 — Bruno Caceiro, Aug 29 '15 at 18:10
