How to define Gradle’s home in IDEA?

Question

You can write a simple gradle script to print your GRADLE_HOME directory.

task getHomeDir {
    doLast {
        println gradle.gradleHomeDir
    }
}

and name it build.gradle.

Then run it with:

gradle getHomeDir

If you installed with homebrew, use brew info gradle to find the base path (i.e. /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.10/), and just append libexec.

The same task in Kotlin in case you use build.gradle.kts:

tasks.register("getHomeDir") {
    println("Gradle home dir: ${gradle.gradleHomeDir}")
}
