Eclipse IDE – No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?
Maven compile a project in Eclipse IDE, but hits the following error messages :
$ mvn clean compile
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

P.S Tested with Maven 3.5.3 and Eclipse SimRel 2018-09
By default, Eclipse configured the JRE automatically.
Solution
Maven needs JDK to compile project. Make sure you have installed/downloaded JDK and add it into Eclipse IDE as installed JRE.
1. Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Add… , select a JDK folder.
2. Add a new JDK as JRE and checked it.
Done. Recompile it again.
Thanks a lot @mkyong for this useful tip. It saved me a lot for my RestAPI automation maven project.

thank you. working for me
Thanks for the tip. I wonder what sense it makes nowadays to maintain a separation between JRE and JDK, it complicates our life just to save a few MB of disk space
