I can't figure out to get this working.
Scenario:
I have an application built with gradle
The application uses JavaFX
What I want
Use a variable (defined per developer machine) which points to an installation of a JDK which will be used for building the whole application / tests / ...
I thought about having the gradle.properties file, defining the variable. Something like
JAVA_HOME_FOR_MY_PROJECT=
What I don't want
point JAVA_HOME to the desired JDK
I could live with many suggestions:
a solution that defines a system environment variable which I'm able to check in my build.gradle script
a variable defined in gradle.properties
overriding the JAVA_HOME variable only for the build context (something like use JAVA_HOME=)
something else I didn't think about
Question:
How to wire a variable (how ever defined, as variable in the gradle.properties, system environment variable, ...) to the build process?
I have more than one JDK7 available and need to point to a special version (minimum JDK_u version).
Any answer is appreciated and I'm thankful for every hint to the right direction.

Two ways
In gradle.properties in the .gradle directory in your HOME_DIRECTORY set org.gradle.java.home=/path_to_jdk_directory
In your build.gradle
compileJava.options.fork = true
compileJava.options.forkOptions.executable = /path_to_javac
