Why does Gradle build fail with java8?

Our Gradle script creates several projects with different initial parameters and targetCompatibility. If my JAVA_HOME environment variables are set to jdk7 all projects build successfully. Then I changed JAVA_HOME to jdk8. Now fail with below errors:

 FATAL ERROR in native method: processing of -javaagent failed
FATAL ERROR in native method: processing of -javaagent failed
