Are you using VisualStudio 2010 Express? I believe that only supports
32-bit builds, so that could be your issue, in which case using the
32-bit JDK should resolve your problem. You may have to manually clean
your repo by removing at least the following:
rm -rf build buildSrc/build
Failing that, I recommend to run with "gradle --info --stacktrace" and
see if that gives you more information.

Wow, sorry I prepared the msg and forgot to paste it here.. haha
Here's the elaboration:
I'm having problems with gradle task :graphics:compileDecoraHLSLShaders
01:10:00.026 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE:

01:10:00.034 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]

The original causing exception is:

Tried it w/ gradle 1.8 and 2.1. Same problem in both. I'm building w/
jdk 1.8.0_20 64-bits. Maybe that's the problem?
PS.: Personally I think using gradle is introducing unnecessary
complexity in the build process.. Better to use a simpler tech like
ant (which should also work for native code) or make, like the rest of
the OpenJDK.
Tks,
