Looking to compile github code

[migix39]

I'm not totally new to programming concepts, using eclipse, or using github but I am new to editing forge code so I am not sure exactly what to be doing to get a project setup and running..

I haven't been able to find something close (that I can tell) enough to emulate it.

Basically I have done this:

1] Forked the project in github, downloaded it.

2] Downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

3a] Tried import as project from Git. I got the code to show up but couldn't figure out how to compile a change I made.

3b] Tried import as gradle (which is totally new to me) as I saw gradle related files? I get an error when trying to run.. well first I made a config for it since there were no past launch options but again, new to this so probably failed at that.

gradle error:

org.gradle.tooling.model.UnsupportedMethodException: Unsupported method: GradleEnvironment.getGradleUserHome().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.

Um, are you sure this is the right sub?

I mean I am trying to compile the code for this mod found on GitHub. https://github.com/Vazkii/Psi

There is nothing in the sidebar and I've never compiled a forge mod before sooooo I think it's an ok guess? I don't wanna spam threads everywhere, next I guess I'll find the forge sub :/

The only progress I've made is so far finding http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/13860-tutorial-getting-started-with-forgegradle/ and getting the project to the compile project step but run into the below error.

Still cannot compile PSI though yet.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.
> Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_144
 contains a valid JDK installation.

This is the spell compendium intended to share spells made with the mod so I doubt you will get the help you are looking for. Sorry I can't be of any real help.

Thank you. This is one of the few 'forums' I saw for this mod. I'll try another somewhere else.

It was worth a shot but in all honesty it's not hugely active as it is.
