mvn clean install problem

When i try to run the mvn clean install in the basicexample, shows this error. Can someone please help me?

@aj2mcorp sorry for the error . The error No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK typically occurs when your environment is set up to use a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) instead of a Java Development Kit (JDK). The JRE does not include the javac compiler, which is necessary for compiling Java code.

Here’s how you can fix this:

  1. Ensure JDK is Installed: You can download it from Oracle’s website or use an open-source alternative like OpenJDK.

  2. Set JAVA_HOME Environment Variable: to point to your JDK installation directory. Here’s how to do it:

On Windows:

  • Right-click on ‘This PC’ or ‘Computer’ on your desktop or in File Explorer and select ‘Properties’.
  • Click on ‘Advanced system settings’ and then on ‘Environment Variables’.
  • Under ‘System variables’, click ‘New’ and enter JAVA_HOME as the variable name and the path to your JDK installation as the variable value (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11).
  • Find the ‘Path’ variable in the ‘System variables’ section, select it, and click ‘Edit’. Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the list.

On macOS and Linux:

  • Open a terminal.
  • Edit your shell profile file (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc) using a text editor and add the following line:
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/jdk
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  • Replace /path/to/your/jdk with the actual path to your JDK installation.
  • Save the file and run source ~/.bashrc (or the relevant file) to apply the changes.
  • Verify the Configuration: After setting JAVA_HOME and updating the PATH, verify the setup by running the following commands in your terminal or command prompt:
java -version
javac -version

These commands should return the versions of java and javac installed, indicating that your environment is correctly configured to use the JDK.

  • Restart Your IDE or Build Tool to ensure it picks up the changes in your environment variables
