Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

Question

i've some error with my project. I'm Android beginner. When I try to compile my app I get a following error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

I'm using Parse SDK for login with Facebook,but in this moment,i've only this code in my app:

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // [Optional] Power your app with Local Datastore. For more info, go to
    // https://parse.com/docs/android/guide#local-datastore
    Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);

    Parse.initialize(this);

my build.gradle is:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.daniele.myapplication"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}


  buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}  
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.+'
  }

How can I solve it? First answer of this doesn't work for me: java.exe finished with non-zero exit value 2 when using Facebook SDK Many thanks.

EDIT: I solved it,for now. I deleted 'com.parse:parse-android:1.+' from dependecies and it works. I don't know why,but in the parse's tutorial,it suggest to add all of this dependencies

Scroll higher in the Gradle console transcript, above where you have that error, and you will find the actual source of your problem. — CommonsWare, Dec 28 '15 at 14:03

Don't you need com.parse:parse-android:1.+ for Parse? When I deleted mine, I got a lot more compiler errors — committedandroider, Jan 24 '16 at 07:52
Found cause and solution, at least for me, I added answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/35045501/3397345 — Davideas, Jan 27 '16 at 18:48

 defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.minls.cmn"
    minSdkVersion 11
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true

}
**dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"**
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}

put just this line dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" }

It seems that you are using Oracle's JDK version 8 which is based on Java 8 that is not officially supported by Android. More details here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/23318269/3535408.

Some tweaks exist but I do not recommend them. Stick to Java 7 and JDK 7 and you are good to go.

To change the JDK usage : Go to File > Project Structure > SDK Location > and change the JDK for JDK 7. You can download last version of JDK 7 here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Once I tried to add a Java Library that was compiled using JDK 8 in another IDE (NetBeans). I did not use any Java 8 features such as lambdas in this library but it was enough for Gradle to complain. So back in NetBeans, I changed the settings so that it compiles with JDK 7 and there my problem was solved !

Hope it helps !

If the above error occurs in Spring Boot Gradle project, please restart your system and check again. It is due to the memory issue.
