Maven Trying to compile in Linux environment using command line : No compiler is provided in this environment

Question

I am trying to generate a build using maven, So started with mvn clean package command in linux server and Getting error as follows:

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

I searched and found some solutions so changed my JAVA_HOME path etc. And following is my settings

My JAVA_HOME => /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.131.x86_64/jre
MVN VERSION SHOWS: Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T16:41:47+00:00)
Maven home: /home/ec2-user/.sdkman/candidates/maven/current
Java version: 1.7.0_131, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.131.x86_64/jre
OS name: "linux", version: "4.4.51-40.58.amzn1.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"**

MY POM.XML File as follows:

you need to install jdk first , you are just running jre. please install jdk using sudo apt-get install java , or add webupd PPA to install Oracle Java — Satya, Mar 23 '17 at 03:36

My JAVA_HOME => /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.131.x86_64/jre

By this I assume you mean setting an environmental variable. Mine is set to the directory right above yours. I'd try that.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.131.x86_64

Mine is set like the following which may not work for you but is here as an example:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

When I ls that directory I get the following. You should get something similar.

$ ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

bin                 include  lib  src.zip

Tested on CentOS 6.5. sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 installs only JRE(javac will be absent). sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel installs JDK. from http://stackoverflow.com/a/12792019/744478 – AnNaMaLaI Mar 23 '17 at 04:25

This problem occurs because on many reasons:

If you haven't installed the JDK package. For example, you have installed java-11-openjdk.x86_64 but JDK comes with a development package. For instance, java-11-openjdk-devel.x86_64 is a java jdk package. It always comes with the extension devel.
Inappropriate java versions, like a project that requires java 17 but we may have installed java 11.
