Retard

I would like to bump this topic as I encountered the same issue, yet ForgeGradle 2.1 is already there. I'm using build.gradle from latest git branch (https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/blob/1.8.9/build.gradle) If I add entries from the MDK, as you suggested, I have some conflict with apply plugin: "net.minecraftforge.gradle.patcher" line, then if I comment it out, it complains about version format (1.8.9 seems to be too short) but I guess such try&test leads to nowhere...

Hi. I cloned Forge 1.8.9 branch from Github and ran gradlew.bat --debug --stacktrace on Windows. I'm stuck with error 06:36:05.007 [ERROR] [org.gradle.api.Project] C:\Programming\Java\MinecraftForge-1.8.9\MinecraftForge-1.8.9\jsons\1.8.9-dev.json could not be parsed 06:36:05.020 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] 06:36:05.023 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. 06:36:05.027 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] 06:36:05.030 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] * What went wrong: 06:36:05.032 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] A problem occurred configuring root project 'forge'. 06:36:05.035 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] > java.io.FileNotFoundException: Inherited json file (null) not found!
