I am currently running Gradle 1.7 but wish to build my project in Java 8, I seen that it is necessary to run at least Ant version 1.9 to use Java 8, I currently only have Ant version 1.8, when trying to build I get the error described here.

How can I download Ant version 1.9 and integrate it so that Gradle uses the newer version of Ant when building my project?

I have downloaded Ant 1.9.6 and replace the ant and ant launcher JARS in the gradle libs folder but now when I run gradle -version I get:

Cannot locate Jar for Module Ant

This is an option but I want to try this first. Surely there must be a way to add a newer version of ant to gradle? – rni902 Nov 04 '15 at 10:13
Ok I will try the gradle uprade, what is the first version of Gradle compatible with Java 8? – rni902 Nov 04 '15 at 10:19
