"Could not run build action using connection to Gradle distribution"

[dirt_block]

I'm fairly new to Minecraft modding but have successfully set it up before. I'm now trying to get set up on a new computer but keep running into an error. I installed JDK 8 and the latest version of Eclipse, then I downloaded the Forge version 1.12.2, and when I import it into Eclipse as a Gradle project, I can't run it because of an error. The error says "Could not run build action using connection to Gradle distribution" and "Unable to start the daemon process". I've tried reinstalling JDK and I've tried with newer versions of Forge, but I keep getting the same error. I don't have Gradle installed or anything but I didn't think I would need to...? Or is this just a compatibility issue, or something else entirely?
