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

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.
Select the Execution Env as show below. Click OK
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

It could possibly be either you have jdk7 not installed on your machine or it is not configured in eclipse. Can you confirm. – jaipster Feb 26 '14 at 04:28

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

        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

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.

I tried all of the above, however, still getting the same error message.

In my case an actual JRE was incorrectly used as JRE System Library in the project-specific build path which was obviously overriding all those other settings discussed here.

If that is so in your case try the following:

Open the project-specific libraries of the Java Build Path: Right-click "Project > Build Path > Configure Build Path..." and select "Libraries" tab.
Select the "JRE System Library" entry and hit "Remove".
Hit "Add Library...".
A wizard pops up. Select "JRE System Library" and hit "Next >".
Now select the correct JDK (in my case "Workspace default JRE", which I configured using a JDK).
Close wizard by hitting "Finish".
Close "Properties" dialog by hitting "OK".

I faced the same issue while trying to build a jar file of my project application using mvn clean install, though the application was working fine while running from Eclipse.

The issue was, indeed too naive, that I had not set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. All I had to do is set JAVA_HOME environment variable to JDK directory, make sure it is not till "\bin" and without semi-colon ";".

How I understood it is as:

The application worked fine in Eclipse as JRE System Library was referring to JRE inside the JDK folder instead of external JRE folder without JDK. [As explained very well in other answers]

This configuration does not apply to maven command that we run on command prompt. It will still look for JAVA_HOME variable to access the JRE System library and when it is not found it refers to external JRE folder without JDK.

The important things for those who run from mvn command, is need to set JAVA_HOME and point to JDK directory. Thanks for this — Minh Kha, Jan 29 '21 at 06:33

There is another possible answer to this question, and I may be the only person foolish enough to have stumbled upon this, but I think it's worth adding, since none of the other answers applied as I already had those settings correct.

When you install a JDK, the installer asks you where you want to install the files. By default, on Windows, this is something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74 (or whatever version you are installing).

It then asks you for a directory to install the JRE to, which by default is something like C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_74.

Note that one is jdk1.8.0_74 and the other is jre1.8.0_74

I was rushing things, and thinking the installer was asking me the same question twice, set both my JDK and JRE install locations to D:\devtools\jdk\jdk1.8.0_74, resulting in the installer overwriting the JDK with the JRE. This resulted in (among other things) a missing javac.exe in my JDK bin, and the same error the OP reported here in all my maven builds.

I got a solution.

The most common solution for this problem is to change jdk location as my Installed JREs instead of the JRE location but that did not solve my problem this one time.

So I did the below to solve the problem. Expand the Installed JREs tab and you will find a Execution environments tab.

Click on your favourite execution environment. In my case it was JAVASE-1.8. There it shows 2 options. JDK and JRE. Select JDK there and the problem is solved.

I just wasted 3 hours with this problem until I managed to make it work. I had this error in the Eclipse Terminal when issuing a mvn compile command:

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

So I read here that I have to make a new system variable called JAVA_HOME and make it point towards the jdk installation folder. However this generated another error:

Source option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later

Couldn't find a fix for this one so...

So the fix to make it all go away is install Java SE Development Kit 8! I was using 9 thinking that if it's the latest it must be better...

Anyway...

Uninstall all java versions from your computer
Install JDK8 from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Then define the JAVA_HOME system environmental value - tutorial here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19509-01/820-3208/inst_cli_jdk_javahome_t/
Restart Eclipse and enjoy! (at least that's what I did)

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\

In addition to answer above, I could say that just try to run Maven from the terminal (outside of Eclipse). In this way, if it builds from outside but not in Eclipse, you can understand that the problem should be in Eclipse.

There are several answers regarding this question but all are related to right path configuration of JDK, but with JRE only we can solve this problem.

We just need to make use of deployment assembly to configure the path of packaged war file of the Java EE Project and then re-run the maven-install.

Steps to make use of deployment assembly:

Right click on the Jave EE project --> click on Properties --> click on Deployment Assembly
Click on Add button --> Click on Archives from the File System --> Click on next --> Click on Add --> Go to the .m2\respository directory and search for the war file generated --> Select war file --> Click on Open button --> Click on Apply --> OK
Right click on the project --> Click on Maven Install under Run As

This will build your project successfully, without any compiler error.

Hope this solves the problem without JDK.

Are you missing any maven build.

Apart from above JRE changes.I still faced similar issue.I was missing JUnit dependency after adding it is working fine.

Hope this will help.

I went to Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs I did NOT see the JDK in here. I only saw the JRE here. So I added the JDK.

here we have to mandatory remove JRE instead of just unchecking.

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