android-studio, Oracle JDK 1.7 and 1.8, gradle

[Ingo Krabbe]

When I start android-studio 1.2 it fails to sync/build/or whatever gradle action.

Funny thing that the

    [  55817]   WARN - nal.AbstractExternalSystemTask - Unable to start the daemon process.

message is emitted right after 

    Successfully started process 'Gradle build daemon'

. Using 1.7 with the active Option MaxPermSize makes no difference. The error is the same. Just the warning messages isn't emitted for Java7.

With oracle-jdk-1.8:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=350m; support was removed in 8.0
