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 path

But this is showing an error

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK? [INFO] 1 error [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO]

Answer 1

Here is how you can solve the issue:

• In Eclipse IDE, open Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > and check your installed JREs. You should see an entry with a JDK there.
• Select the Execution Env. Click OK
• Right-Click on your Project -> Maven -> Update Project

Also, you have to change the Maven JRE. Open Run -> Run Configurations, select the Maven Build. After that, click the JRE tab and selected the option Workspace default JRE.
