I am trying to setup cordova for running cordova-android9.0 My problem is that then I downgraded my java version it wont longer work

I downloaded java 8 and set my environmentvariables 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 vaiables

But when I am running java -version in terminal it gives me errormessage:

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

I cannot figure out why java is not responding correctly

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.

CodePudding user response：

Check if this is the correct path of your jdk-

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

Sometimes Its C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_351\bin
