Does Maven need JDK
maven
Solution
Maven needs a JDK, and not a JRE.
Do this for more information on which version of Java you have installed:
echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $PATH
which java
java -version
mvn --version
Problem
I am new to Maven, Java ...when I do a `mvn clean package` on a Java project, it does create the JAR file for me. But still how can I know if I have JDK or is it still JRE? I am on OSX 10.8
