Gradle 4.4 Compatibility Issue with Java 11+: How to Fix

To resolve the 'Unable to start the daemon process' error, which occurs due to Gradle 4.4's incompatibility with Java 11 or newer, you have two options:

1. Downgrade your Java version: Install an older Java version (e.g., Java 8) and set it as the default for your project. Gradle 4.4 is compatible with Java 8. You can download Java 8 from the official Oracle website or use a package manager like SDKMAN or Homebrew.

2. Upgrade Gradle: If feasible, upgrade your project to a newer Gradle version compatible with Java 11 or newer. Gradle 5.0 and later versions support Java 11. However, upgrading Gradle may necessitate changes to your build scripts, dependencies, or plugins. Refer to the Gradle documentation or migration guide for more information on upgrading your Gradle version.

Choose the option that aligns best with your project's requirements and constraints.
