A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi, decided to get into Kotlin properly today, but I cannot get the build to work, I am not coming from a Java background so am not familiar with gradle, but it seems somewhat painful for simple things. In particular, I am getting `Could not determine Java version using executable /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk/bin/java` - not really sure how it's impossible to determine the JDK version from that. EDIT: Looks like <https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/816> i.e. Gradle, Kotlin and OpenJDK 10 don''t play nicely together

Are you trying to compile from cli or IDE?

Even with a java background, this sort of thing happens, and is frustrating. You’ll need to jack that the java version in your gradle file matches the version in your `project -&gt; project SDK` in intellij; and that it matches the version in your path at the command line (depending on which way you’re compiling it)

Think I've found the issue: <https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/816>
