'keywords 'java|openjdk version' not found in 'picked up java_tool_options: -d' error

Everytime I try to build or rebuild my solution this error shows up:

keywords 'java|openjdk version' not found in 'picked up java_tool_options: -d'

I have already uninstalled and installed java, a specific version that my coworker has and we use to work, and it's still the same. This didn't happen before, but now we can't find a way to fix this.

I'm using:

Visual Studio 2015

JDK8_231

Thanks!

EDIT: I found a way to fix this!

Windows

  1. Download the JDK you want.
  2. Extract it to C:/Program Files/Java/[your jdk path/version] or whatever location you want
  3. Go to your environment variables (In windows search type "Environment Variables" -> Click "Edit the system environment variables" -> click "environment variables")
  4. Find the PATH variable for the user
  5. Add C:/Program Files/Java/[your jdk path/version] variable

Hope this helps someone else!
