Maven compilation Error creating artifacts and copying them into the local repository

Question

I have this compilation error un maven

[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

But It's not possible because I have the jdk in my path: ;..;C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin

and:

C:\Development\Workspaces\EclipseWS\devices-project>java -version
java version "1.7.0_71"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

and here mvn -v :

C:\Users\joanet>mvn -v
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 14:51:

If you run mvn -v you will see what Maven thinks it is using

e.g.

Apache Maven 3.2.5 (12a6b3acb947671f09b81f49094c53f426d8cea1; 2014-12-15T03:59:23+10:30)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.2.5/libexec
Java version: 1.6.0_65, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.9.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
