No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

Question

I\'m compiling a project in Eclipse using m2eclipse. I set the JDK path in Eclipse like this:

Windows-->preferences-->installed jres--> jdk1.7.xx  p         


        

Answer 1

I got same issue and i just add JAVA_HOME to environment variables.

• If you are using eclipse, just refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/21279068/6097074
• If you are using intellij, just after adding JAVA_HOME open command prompt from project directory and run mvn clean install(don't use intellij terminal).

Answer 2

I did the following change and it worked for me.Hope it helps someone.

Answer 3

Try this.

<build>
...
    <plugins>
    ...
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <fork>true</fork>
                <executable> path to jdk \bin\javac.exe</executable>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Answer 4

In Windows 7 - 64 bit, there is a permissions problem which prevents the installer from unpacking the file C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.xx\lib\tools.jar into your local. This jar file is what maven-compiler-plugin version 3.x uses instead of the usual javac

Solution: Run, as an administrator, the Java JDK installer! And make sure the tools.jar is sitting in the C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.xx\lib\

In case you are using m2e maven integration plugin, you want to see the file is visible to Eclipse via the following steps inside Eclipse:

Go to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> installed JREs Select the JDK you are using (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.xx) Press Edit to see the list of jars including tools.jar, OR you can add it as Add External JAR Then configure the maven run through these steps:

Run->Run configurations->Fill in Name, Base directory and Goals. Then in the same window move to the JRE tab and point to the JDK \jdk1.6.xx\

Answer 5

1. On your Eclipse IDE, go into Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > and check your installed JREs. You should have an entry with a JDK there.
2. Select the Execution Env as show below. Click OK
3. Then Right-Click on your Project -> Maven -> Update Project

Additionally, you may have to change Maven JRE (see @jlars62 answer) which is as follows. Goto Run -> Run Configurations, selecting the Maven Build I was running (from the left panel). Then, I clicked the JRE tab and selected the option Workspace default JRE

Answer 6

For me the JRE was in the PATH environment variable before the JDK path

1. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
2. C:\env\jdk1.8.0_151\bin

So I removed 1. Probably swapping them would fix it too.
