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

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.
