java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.gradle.internal.compiler.java.ClassNameCollector cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$

I'm trying to build the application with Java SE 11 and Gradle 7.0, and it builds using the IDE however when I try to build it using the terminal I get this error. How can I fix it.

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.gradle.internal.compiler.java.ClassNameCollector (in unnamed module @0x1d7a8227) cannot access class com.sun.tools.javac.code.Symbol$TypeSymbol (in module jdk.compiler) because module jdk.compiler does not export com.sun.tools.javac.code to unnamed module @0x1d7a8227

I am having the same issue. When I was running in intellij terminal ./gradlew build war this exception happened.

I saw the problem is terminal java version. In terminal is 17 and my application is running in 11.

I solve my problem creating war file by intellij, but there is some missing environment configuration to fix in my terminal.

I encountered the same error. To get around it, I ended up setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable before running gradle from the command line, and also added it to my path.

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home 
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

openjdk-11 worked fine for me, but you want to make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to an actual location before setting it. This may vary based on your OS.

Downgrading from open jdk 17 to 11 worked for me.

Resolved it by recreating the project from existing sources & updating the .gradle-wrapper.properties version to 7.3.2

Location: gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.2-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
