Getting started on Corda on Windows - gradle

Question

I am trying to get started on Corda on Windows and I am following the started guides using the following docs:
https://docs.corda.net/quickstart-index.html#setting-up-a-development-environment
https://vimeo.com/217462250
https://docs.corda.net/getting-set-up.html
I have downloaded all the latest version (as of 22.09.19) of Git (2.23.0, 64-bit version) / Java JDK (jdk-8u221-windows-x64.exe) / and the latest IntelliJ.
However I am facing the following issues:
When I open the 'Event Log' I don't see any messages event gradle message
Also when I try and run the Nodes from Intellj > Run CordaApps Kotlin I get the following error message:
When I try and run the nodes from the Git bash terminal

Answer 1

Have you set Java classpath to point to jdk1.8.0_221?
From the log record it seems that the jdk is 1.7. Corda require at least version 8u171. Please check the classpath and installed java version.
You should add Java to the PATH environment variable by following the instructions in the Oracle documentation - "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html#path"

Answer 2

Which java variant you are using?
If it is Adopt OpenJDK 8, use HotSpot JVM not the OpenJ9 Version.
Here is the link for windows x64 AdoptOpenJDK 8
