I've read a similar issue but my environment is different.
I've cloned the Corda samples and ensured that I have Java 8 (update 301) and Gradle 5.6.4:
cordapp-example % java -version
java version "1.8.0_301"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_301-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.301-b09, mixed mode)
cordapp-example % gradle -version
------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 5.6.4

Yet when I follow the "Run a sample Cordapp" tutorial I fail at the runnodes step:
cordapp-example % bash -c 'cd "/Users/arinea/Munca/Corda/samples-java/Basic/cordapp-example/build/nodes/PartyB" ; "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.10.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" "-Dcapsule.jvm.args=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5007 -javaagent:drivers/jolokia-jvm-1.6.0-agent.jar=port=7007,logHandlerClass=net.corda.node.JolokiaSlf4jAdapter" "-Dname=PartyB" "-jar" "/Users/arinea/Munca/Corda/samples-java/Basic/cordapp-example/build/nodes/PartyB/corda.jar" && exit'

Upon careful inspection of the first lines in the three tabs that fail we see:
... "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.10.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java" ...
I do also have this Java 11 installed on my OS X but why is it being picked up!?
java -version, as seen above, points to 1.8 u301,
cordapp-example % echo $JAVA_HOME
/Users/arinea/.jenv/versions/1.8.0.301
cordapp-example % ll /Users/arinea/.jenv/versions

For the life of me I can't tell why is JDK11 picked up.. Do I need to remove it from my system?
Later edit:
This problem happens when I run ./build/nodes/runnodes from the cordapp-example directory. If I go to build/nodes and run there java -jar runnodes.jar everything works well, as expected...
The answer is right in the runnodes script file:
1 #!/usr/bin/env bash
2
3 set -eo pipefail
4
5 # Allow the script to be run from outside the nodes directory.
6 basedir=$( dirname "$0" )
7 cd "$basedir"
8
9 if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] && which osascript >/dev/null; then
10 # use default version of java installed on mac
11 /usr/libexec/java_home --exec java -jar runnodes.jar "$@"
12 else
13 "${JAVA_HOME:+$JAVA_HOME/bin/}java" -jar runnodes.jar "$@"
14 fi
Line 11 gets executed (as opposed to line 13) which uses /usr/libexec/java_home which in my case (and many other people's, judging from what I could find on the net..) will point to the latest JDK installed. That is JDK 11 and Corda is not compatible with it.
Just make sure you don't use that one and use a JDK 8 above update 131.
