Joe Stein commented on KAFKA-1781: ---------------------------------- I think your issue is related to your JVM being 8 instead of 7 which has some more info here KAFKA-1624 and not gradle versions > Readme should specify that Gradle 2.0 is required for initial bootstrap > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1781 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1781 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Affects Versions: 0.8.2 > Reporter: Jean-Francois Im > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > Attachments: gradle-2.0-readme.patch > > > Current README.md says "You need to have gradle installed." > As the bootstrap procedure doesn't work with gradle 1.12, this needs to say > that 2.0 or greater is needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
