Answer 1

if you are working outside of eclipse in the command window
make sure you have the right JAVA_HOME and that that directory contains the compiler by entering the following command in the command window:

dir %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac.*

Answer 2

Go into Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > and check your installed JREs. You should have an entry with a JDK there.

Answer 3

check java version in pom.xml and jre version in Eclipse->Window->Preferences->Installed JREs. In my case pom.xml has different version(it had 1.8 while eclipse using 1.7). Fixing the version in pom.xml to 1.7 worked.

Answer 4

In my case, I had created a run configuration and whenever I tried to run it, the error would be displayed. After searching on some websites, I edited the run configuration and under JRE tab, selected the runtime JRE as 'workspace default JRE' which I had already configured to point to my local Java JDK installation (ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_51). This solved my issue. Maybe it helps someone out there.

Answer 5

was getting the same problem, pointed java to bin folder in eclipse using: windows > preferences > java > installed JREs > remove any existing JRE and point it to your java bin folder (mainly under C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.x_xx).

then run maven install it should work.

Answer 6

1.Go to Windows-->Preferences-->Java-->Installed JREs-->Execution Environments

2.select the java version you are using currently in the "Execution Environments" box. So that in the "Compatible JREs" box, you are able to see as "jre1.8.0_102[perfect match]"(if your java version is 1.8). Then try to build using maven.
