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

Question

I am running mvn compile from the command line and am getting this:

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen this answer but it's for Eclipse.

Any suggestions

Solution 1

Set JDK instead of JRE as environment (download it if necessary)

JDK=JRE+Codingstuff (including a compiler)

Solution 2

you need to update environment variable( give JDK path in ENV variable ) here link how to set up
