4,248 PointsWhen I run bootrun I get a build failed with an exception error
I tried to follow as best as I can the lessons but when I execute the bootrun command some strange things start to happen. I'm able to see the Whitelabel Error Page at localhost:8080 but I have noticed that the terminal is showing me the following error message:
:bootRun FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':bootRun'.
> Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 47.593 secs
Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1
07:40:13 AM: External task execution finished 'bootRun'.
I think it's a problem related to my jdk but I don't know how to fix it. Here's my gradle code:
group 'com.emanuel'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
buildscript{
repositories{
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies{
classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.5.6.RELEASE'
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.5.6.RELEASE'
}
And here's my AppConfig.java
package com.emanuel.giftlib;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class AppConfig {
public static void main (String [] args){
SpringApplication.run(AppConfig.class,args);
}
}
Could someone please tell me what's going on. I'm completely new to this and I know that I won't be able to continue the course without fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

305 PointsSame problem here. I really don't understand why the heck they choose gradle over maven when 80% of the tutorials online use maven. My company uses maven, other people I know doing java dev use maven. Yet here I am, stuck in the first 10minutes of the tutorial :)
