Change internal gradle version

[RiccardoBarbieri]

I need to use the latest version of gradle since it offers support for JDK 17 but as of today the version used is 6.4

I'd like the ability to specify the version of gradle to use, even better would be an internal installer to choose the version.

For now I'm using gradle from command line for the project that require upper gradle versions.

Do you mean to change the Gradle version of your project? If so, you can just specify the related Gradle distribution url in ./gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties if you're using a wrapper and java.import.gradle.wrapper.enabled is enabled.

Not sure if it's the right thing you want, but #1145 will upgrade the version of gradle wrapper from the repository to 7.3.3.

Solution

You can control which Gradle version VS Code uses via settings or by updating your project’s wrapper:

• In your user or workspace settings.json, disable the wrapper and specify the version:

  {
    "java.import.gradle.wrapper.enabled": false,
    "java.import.gradle.version": "7.5"        // or any supported Gradle version
  }

  • Reference: JDT LS doesn't use the gradle version of the project eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1431 (comment)

• Alternatively, update your project’s Gradle wrapper to the desired version:

  cd <your_project>
  ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=7.5
  ./gradlew wrapper build
