Can't load java, Failed setting boot class path after setting Environment variables

I am trying to setup Cordova for running cordova-android9.0. My problem is that when I downgraded my java version, it no longer works.

I downloaded Java 8 and set my environment variables to: User variable Path to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_351\bin and Gradle to this version: C:\Gradle\gradle-4.10.3\bin (recommended by Cordova)

System variables:

JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_351

and Path the same as on user variables

When I run java -version in terminal it gives me error message:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Failed setting boot class path.

I cannot figure out why Java is not responding correctly

Solution

  • Not sure what could be breaking, but you can try clean installing java from your system once. Uninstall all java versions -> reboot pc -> re-install correct JDK 8 from here: https://www.oracle.com/in/java/technologies/javase/javase8-archive-downloads.html and afterwards try to set the JAVA_HOME if not set properly.
