The value of JAVA_HOME should be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131.

Can you remove the _JAVA_OPTIONS path variable and try building again?
EDIT: @appmake, also don’t forget to restart your terminal app after you update the path variable.

@appmake If your extension java file is empty (has no events or methods, view the example following the image) then you will get the error you’re getting…
Example of “empty” java file
package io.test.exampleextension;
import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.SimpleFunction;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.AndroidNonvisibleComponent;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.ComponentContainer;
public class ExampleExtension extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent {
public ExampleExtension(ComponentContainer container) {
super(container.$form());
}
}
@Shreyash I recommend not telling people to add the useless JAVA_HOME to their Environment Variables, it is not needed and Rush works fine without it (even java -version does)… Not an error in sight, try it yourself. Only some programs like Apache Tomcat needs this to work properly.
Yeah, ikr? I ask them to add it just because for some people, who were facing issues like extension not being produced, etc, adding it (the JAVA_HOME env var) solved the issue.
Sure it solves the issue, but I’ve never added JAVA_HOME and it was perfectly fine, my extensions are compiled perfectly fine.
Maybe it’s added automatically or you’ve added it before
Its never been added and isn’t being added automatically.
It’s not related to Rush. You’re missing one or more curly brackets }.

As @Xoma, you’re probably missing a curly brace somewhere, and hence, the error. Also, you should always re-verify any chunk of code you get from the internet. Usually chances are that you didn’t copied it correctly or the code itself isn’t valid.

Please someone make a small tutorial video of making a very simple extension on youtube

P.S. from the tutorial, you don’t need to join “their” Telegram group or download the Uido application from the Google Play Store. They’re not required steps.
