How to avoid creating multiple daemons ? What is gradle criteria to start a new daemon ? They may consume a lot of memory and I would like to avoid that, I thought that making AS use the same JDK as I use in the command line would be enough, but it does not seems to be the case...

It is jdk, as well as some unmodifiable properties - mainly heap settings - as well as the instrumentation agent argument, and whether the daemon is occupied. The build log on info level or maybe debug level might give more insight on why another daemon is started

ahh, ok. Thanksa
