Build failed with an exception. JAVA_HOME environment variable causing me issues

[jacob814]

 

As shown in the picture (sort of) when trying to get gradlew setupDecompWorkspace I am getting this error:

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 

What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':recompileMc'.

> Unable to find a javac compiler;

com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.

Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.

It is currently set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102"

 

Try:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

 

END of error

 

 

As the error states that JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK, I must be doing something wrong as shown in the picture, I have an environment variable JAVA_HOME pointing to java jdk1.8xxxx

 

I have spent some time trying to figure it out without luck. I feel like I am overlooking something small, if anyone can help I will be very thankful.

Im pretty sure it needs to point to the bin folder aswell.

The issue that seems to be occurring is that the command prompt isn't even recognizing the change I am making to the variable. As if it is looking somewhere else for it. I tried the bin and that didn't work either.

This may seem really obvious and stupid, but did you try turning it off and back on again? (Note you usually need to restart after editing environment variables).

It may be because I have never had to deal with environment variables before but that seemed to work. Thankyou.
