Maven error :Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?
compiler-errors, java, maven
Solution
Apparently, it requires tools.jar file inside the lib folder of my $JAVA_HOME. I did not have the lib folder, so I reinstalled my jdk using command
apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-doc openjdk-7-jre-lib
Also, this link may help some people.
Problem
I've never worked with Maven before and I am following the instructions here. When I run the command ``` mvn integration-test -Pamp-to-war ``` It initially downloaded a whole bunch of dependencies, and in the end it showed, ``` 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 ``` I am on ubuntu 13.04. If there's anything you want me to tell you, let me know. Thanks. EDIT When I do `echo $JAVA_HOME` I get `/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/` When I do `mvn -version` I get, ``` Apache Maven 3.0.4 Maven home: /usr/share/maven Java version: 1.7.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "3.8.0-26-generic", arch: "i386", family: "unix" ``` Also, I found out this problem faced by someone else. But I am not sure how to go about the solution that is specified?
