(转)Maven Eclipse Compiler Error “No compiler is provided in this environment. …”

I got the following compilation error while running the Maven install command from Eclipse:

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

Go into Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > and check your installed JREs. You should have an entry with a JDK there.

Go into Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments

Select JavaSE-1.6, click the jdk checkbox on the right. Then use “update project configuration” from the maven menu.
