I understand and read the Rules and EAQ post, however, it tells me to go to a forum for modding support but it links to a dead end. (http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/board,73.0.html/).
Moving forward,
I am attempting to start into modding. I am also taking classes specifically for Java to do so. The issue I have run into is while following this WONDERFUL guide, I have run into an error I can't seem to correct on the 4th step. "Open up a command prompt in the folder you created in step (3), then run gradlew setupDecompWorkspace. This will download a bunch of artifacts from the internet needed to decompile and build Minecraft and forge. This might take some time, as it will download stuff and then decompile Minecraft. Note that, in general, these things will only need to be downloaded and decompiled once, unless you delete the gradle artifact cache."
I posted the error in the png attached to this post. I have 10.0.1 Java of the JDK but it seems to not care. I have tried Googling the issue before ending up here but all I was finding was not useful information. But maybe I am just bad at Googling suddenly.
