Eclipse Maven error No compiler is provided in this environment

Question

I want to deploy my first modification and need to run a Maven install, but I am having trouble getting it to work.

Error output:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project mrpapp: Compilation failure

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

I am running a JDK and not a JRE and $JAVA_HOME (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_60) and it does have a javac.exe in its bin directory. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

On your pc, just go to windows  > Preference > Java > Installed JREs. Check if you have an entry pointing to your JDK path. If you don't have that in your path just click on the edit button and put the path you configured in your JAVA_HOME environment.

I hope this helps.
