A maven is a powerful tool for building this error. I will explain why this error happens and how to solve this error:
The java Home problem?
After installing Maven, the user has to set the Java_Home environment variable. So the tools know where to find the JDK commands to execute. Maven runs the appropriate java commands against the project source code.
Example:
The most common scenario is to compile the code by using the java command. If the java_home is not pointing to a valid JDK installation, then mevan will throw an error at every execution.
“JAVA_HOME should not point to a JDK nor JRE”
Solution:
Make sure you don’t have a JRE path if you have the delete it.
- Add the JAVA_HOME to system variable, Variable value is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2 (location of JDK without bin).
- Add M2 in the system variable. Variable Value: C:\dev\maven\apache-maven-3.5.4 ( location of maven with bin).
- Add M2_HOME in the system variables. Variable value: C:\dev\maven\apache-maven-3.5.4 (location of maven with bin).
- Add %JAVA_HOME% and %M2% in Path System Variable or C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2 and C:\dev\maven\apache-maven-3.5.4\bin.
Note:
For Windows 10, just add the location. For other versions, at the end of Variable Value Field add a semicolon and then location like;%JAVA_HOME%;%M2%
