MDK 1.13.2 setup problems

[oHomer]

I want to setup a forge workspace but I get the following error text every time I try any kind of gradlew command:

---------------------------
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'Workspace 1.13'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:3.+.

--------------------

I try to fix it by using another JDK (jdk7u80;jdk8u211;jdk 11.0.3) or another computer(Win7Pro64bit;Win10Pro64bit) but nothing helps. Changing the network/place also makes no difference, as well as deactivating the Firewall, Avira or the Java security system. The web adress in the code is accessible with my browser.

Have someone an idea what is the issue?

I had a similar problem. I installed jdk1.8.0_201 and it all worked. Specifically, my problem was related to the gradle and jdk version. If you follow the recommendations of gradle and run other commands, it should write what the problem is. Be sure to fix the %PATH%.

You need to be able to download files from forge files from the internet. Make sure that your antivirus allows access to forge and that access to forges maven is not blocked by a proxy or your internet settings.

I ran into this problem too, make sure you're using the latest Java 8 JDK and MAKE SURE JAVA_HOME IS SET PROPERLY. Gradle uses the JDK from JAVA_HOME, not the one on your PATH. Specifically, this happens because Java only got support for Let's Encrypt certificates around jdk8_u100 and Forge uses Let's Encrypt.
