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

For me, nothing worked until I made this change to my pom.xml:

...
    
    ...
        
            maven-compiler-plugin
            3.1
            
                true
                C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javac.exe
            
        
    

Other Notes

I could see that m2e was executing in a JRE, not the JDK. Nothing I did changed this, including adding this to the eclipse.ini:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javaw.exe

In the end I never got m2e to execute in a JDK, but setting the Java compiler explicitly (as above) did the trick.
