Maven package error: No compiler is provided in this environment

I am new to Maven and I am trying to create a JAR out of a HelloWorld program.

I have done the classpath setting:

enter image description here

This is the pom.xml file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

When I trigger mvn package command, I am getting this error:

JAVA_HOME is already set as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin in classpath. Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

Solution

  • Your JAVA_HOME is set to a JRE not to a JDK. The JRE does not include the Java Compiler, so set JAVA_HOME to a JDK and it should work
