Spring STS - Maven build error - No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK? Spring

Question

Installed JRE pointing to JDK & Libraries pointing to jre[Please note- there solutions out there Eclipse, but I'm using Sprint STS] Spring Tool Suite Version: 3.9.3.RELEASE Apache Maven 3.2.5 Java- 10.0.1 OS - Windows 10 Tomcat 8.5

I have already verified Installed JRE has a JDK entry. Have verified JAVA_HOME and Path environment variables.

Maven Clean & Validate works. Maven Compile does not work. Gives me error - "No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK? "

Can someone please help?

Your workspace needs to be configured with a JDK.

Goto Preferences->Java->Installed JREs and Add your JRE there. Point at a JRE (with a JDK).

Then right-click on your project and select Build Path->Configure Build Path->Libraries->Add Library to make sure that JRE is associated with your project.

I faced same error while using spring tool suite 4 IDE.

To resolve these issues, follow these steps:

Right click on project
Select Build path option
Click on configure Build path
Go to libraries tab
Click on Add Library option
Select JRE System Library
Select Alternate JRE option
Click on installed JRE's button
Click on ADD
Select Standard VM
Click on directory
Select the path to JDK
Click Apply & Close.

That's it, issue was resolved and maven build was successful.

I hope this works for eclipse too. It worked for me.
