Hi,

I have just cloned the github repository of Glide and I got a NPE when I try to build the whole project:

```

$ ./gradlew clean build

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':annotation:compiler'.

> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

```

The issue seems to come from line 21 in annotation/compiler/build.gradle :
```
// This is to support com.sun.tools.javac.util.List, currently used in RootModuleGenerator.
compile files(Jvm.current().getToolsJar())
```

And the `org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm` import is not resolved by Android studio.

Am I missing something ?

I am currently trying this on an Ubuntu 21.04 workstation with latest JAVA 11 and a correctly set `ANDROID_PATH` that contains SDK 29, 30 & 31.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Bruno

(PS: I can send the whole stack if necessary but I am quite sure the error is on my side :) )

It seems like a known issue.

I think it will help you to refer

https://github.com/bumptech/glide/issues/4597

I had the same issue and was able to resolve it by build the project using the Java version from 11(or 9) to 8.

Hope it will help you.
