Answer 1

The problem is here:

Command[0] : /usr/local/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/

This is a configuration error; java is missing at the end here!

This seems to be the culprit line in your wrapper configuration:

# add /java at end
wrapper.java.command=/usr/local/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java

in case of windows

wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.6\bin\java
