When working with the latest Gradle version with Java 10 on Linux, it fails to identify version number of Java as 10 as valid Java version. How to fix this problem on Linux machines ? Log details of the error here
And here is the complete error report (N.B. Running gradle --version or gradle -v also gives the same output :
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.* What went wrong:Could not determine java version from '10'.* Try:Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.EDIT :
Output of gradle --stacktrace

Answer
You need to upgrade Gradle. Version 4.5.1 and later definitely support Java 10.
If you think you have 4.5.1 or later installed, but gradle -version still won’t run, it’s possible that when you type gradle at the command line, it’s still running an older version for some reason.
One common thing to do is alias gradle to ./gradlew, so that in the context of a Gradle project, you’ll use the wrapper Gradle rather than the system Gradle. This is usually helpful, but in a situation like this, it backfires. You should be able to determine the installed system Gradle with which:
> which gradle/usr/local/bin/gradle> $(which gradle) -version------------------------------------------------------------Gradle 4.6------------------------------------------------------------Build time: 2018-02-28 13:36:36 UTCRevision: 8fa6ce7945b640e6168488e4417f9bb96e4ab46cGroovy: 2.4.12Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.9 compiled on February 2 2017JVM: 10.0.1 ("Oracle Corporation" 10.0.1+10)OS: Mac OS X 10.13.4 x86_64(I’ve elided some warnings about illegal reflective access, if you get those, don’t worry about them.)
If $(which gradle) -version still won’t run, you need to upgrade the system gradle. But if it does, to update the Gradle wrapper, you can edit your build.gradle —
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) { gradleVersion = '4.6'}— and then use the system Gradle to rerun the wrapper task:
