I am trying to clean maven project using IntelliJ on mac by running below command but getting error. Please suggest what needs to be done to fix this
./mnwn clean package
Error : "No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?"
Thanks
The issue is not related to IntelliJ IDEA, you should get the same behavior when you run this command in the system Terminal.
To fix the issue install any JDK on your system and make sure the bin subdirectory of the JDK home directory is added to PATH environment. You may also want to set JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to this JDK installation home directory.
To verify that it works run java -version in the system Terminal. Make sure it prints the correct Java version of the JDK and not a JRE.
I was facing similar error while workspace setup on a new MAC system.
I was initially referring "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin" as JAVA_HOME path but it was not correct.
The correct JDK path was "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_331.jdk/Contents/Home". If you JDK with default installation path on MAC then cross check your JAVA_HOME. It might help you to solve your problem.
Everytime I open a gradle project, if I use default settings, it has an invalid gradle JVM:
I have to fix it by selecting another valid JDK every time, since the configuration here is just "for current project":
I can't find a way to setup a global or default option for all projects.
Do I missing anything?
I finally found the problem.
In my system, openjdk 11.0.1 is installed by mistake and be my default jdk (which means I run java -version in terminal will print 11.0.1). When I open an existing gradle project, I used to go to the dir from command line and type idea .. IDEA detects openjdk 11.0.1 and uses it as the project jdk. Since I don't really want to use this version of JDK, I deleted its configuration from IDEA(not from the OS).
In order to make IDEA uses JDK 1.8 by default, my solution is to delete openjdk 11.0.1 from system completed and make sure JDK 1.8 is the default. Now everything is OK.
PS: I still think it's be great to have a way to setup default JDK version for all new projects, currently we can also set for individual projects.
I've seen this question asked but never specifically for Mac. My company is using TeamCity on a Mac Mini to do our iOS and android builds. We would use windows but, iOS builds require a Mac with Xcode. I have not been able to satisfy this condition. I can see that there are multiple versions of MSBuild (and Xbuild) already on my machine. Here is what I tried:
set an environment variable for MSBuildTools12.0_x86_Path using launchctl setenv (tried the bin directory of every instance of MSBuild existing on my machine), rebooted before checking TC
setting env.MSBuildTools12.0_x86_Path entry in buildAgent.properties
setting system.MSBuildTools12.0_x86_Path entry in buildAgent.properties
logging into TeamCity, going to my build configuration, going to the "parameters" tab and adding a new parameter for env.MSBuildTools12.0_x86_Path
After all of the above failed to satisfy the condition, I tried grabbing version 12 of MSBuild from a Windows machine, copying it to my Mac and pointing to its "Bin" directory instead, and repeating all bullets above.
The path was /Users/myusername/MSBuild/12.0/Bin. This bin directory contains MSBuild.exe, an MSBuild folder, a bunch of DLLs and more.
Again, this failed to change the outcome of the unmet condition in TeamCity. The frustrating thing is that TeamCity isn't giving me details. I don't know if it's still complaining that the path isn't even set (and where it is even looking for that path definition), or if it SEES that the path is set but it's not pointing to a folder it recognizes as MSBuild. I'm completely in the dark.
Does anyone have any guidance for me on this? I feel I've exhausted all paths to a solution. Thank you so much, in advance.
I figured it out on my own. On the Mac, you have to do an "MSBuild" runner type and pick "Mono xbuild 4.5" for the version. I used "x86" for the run platform and set a parameter for Mono4.5_x86 to point to xbuild. But it was trying to run the 64 bit version of mono and I found no way to set a command line argument for mono to tell it I want --arch=32 so I ended up having to link the mono executable to mono-sgen32 to get the build to finally work.
I am using javadoc doclets with gradle, so I need to use the package tools.jar, which is in the lib folder from the jdk (1.6.0_26 in my case).
The point is that gradle does not take it automatically, so I was adding that tools package to my libs folder, and then adding it to dependencies.gradle .
Now I want to take it directly from my JDK home into my dependencies.gradle. Is there a way to do that? I have tried the next in my dependencies.gradle:
compile files("${System.properties['java.home']}/lib/tools.jar")
But it does not find it while compiling.
I had this problem when I was trying to run commands through CLI.
It was a problem with system looking at the JRE folder i.e.
D:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin. If we look in there, there is no Tools.jar, hence the error.
You need to find where the JDK is, in my case: D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11, and if you look in the lib directory, you will see Tools.jar.
What I did I created a new environment variable JAVA_HOME:
And then you need to edit your PATH variable to include JAVA_HOME, i.e. %JAVA_HOME%/bin;
Re-open command prompt and should run.
Found it. System property 'java.home' is not JAVA_HOME environment variable. JAVA_HOME points to the JDK, while java.home points to the JRE. See that page for more info.
Soo... My problem was that my startpoint was the jre folder (C:\jdk1.6.0_26\jre) and not the jdk folder (C:\jdk1.6.0_26) as I thought(tools.jar is on the C:\jdk1.6.0_26\lib folder ). The compile line in dependencies.gradle should be:
compile files("${System.properties['java.home']}/../lib/tools.jar")
I got the same error using Eclipse trying to execute a Gradle Task. Every time I run a command (i.e. war) the process threw an exception like:
Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files\Java\Jre8" is a valid JDK install.
I tried the solution listed in this post but none of them solved this issue. Here my solution :
Go to the "Gradle Task" view
Right Click on the task you want to execute
Select Open Gradle Run Configuration
In the tab "Java Home" select your local JDK repository then click OK
Run again, Enjoy!
I just added a gradle.properties file with the following content:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_45
I had a similar case using Ubuntu. The machine had only the JRE installed. So, I just executed the command below to install the JDK.
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
In macOS Big Sur
The issue happens because of the environment variable JAVA_HOME is not correctly set in macOS Big Sur.
Step 1 - Confirm that you have issue with JAVA_HOME by printing its value in the terminal. You will most likely get an empty string.
echo $JAVA_HOME
Step 2 - Find the correct path on your machine
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
Copy that path associated with "Java SE 8" which usually looks like /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home
Step 3 - Edit .zshenv using nano
nano ~/.zshenv
Step 4 - Add the path from step 2 to the file as follows
export JAVA_HOME=YOUR_JAVA_PATH
example:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home
Step 5 - Source the updated .zshenv file to activate the environment variable
source ~/.zshenv
Step 6 - Print to confirm the path
echo $JAVA_HOME
I was struggling as well for this Solution. Found a better way to it with Gradle as described here.
We can get the JVM/JDK information from Gradle itself.
dependencies {
runtime files(org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm.current().toolsJar)
}
So simple.
In CentOS7 the development package will install tools.jar. The file is not present in java-1.8.0-openjdk
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Add this to gradle.properties:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
My solution on Mac:
add this line to gradle.properties:
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home
not this one:
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
you can open the last home directory and will find that there is no lib/tools.jar file existence, so change the path to JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk and it works for me.
By the way, in the terminal, I echo the $JAVA_HOME and it gets the first path, not the second one, I think this is why my Gradle cannot work properly.
With Centos 7, I have found that only JDK has tools.jar, while JRE has not. I have installed the Java 8 JRE(yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk), but not the JDK(yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel).
Installing the latter solves the problem. Also, remember to set JAVA_HOME.
It may be two years too late, but I ran into the same problem recently and this is the solution I ended up with after finding this post:
import javax.tools.ToolProvider
dependencies {
compile (
files(((URLClassLoader) ToolProvider.getSystemToolClassLoader()).getURLs()),
...
}
}
It should work if java.home points to a directory that's not under the JDK directory and even on Mac OS where you'd have classes.jar instead of tools.jar.
On windows 10, I encounter the same problem and this how I fixed the issue;
Access Advance System Settings>Environment Variables>System
Variables
Select PATH overwrite the default
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
With your own jdk installation that is JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162
On my system (Win 10, JRE 1.8.0, Android Studio 3.1.2, Gradle 4.1) there is no tools.jar in the JRE directory (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_171).
However, I found it in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib and tried setting JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre
That works (for me)!
What solved it for me was the following:
found tools.jar in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib
copy paste to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_271\lib
ran the code again and it worked.
If you use terminal to build and you have this error you can point to jdk bundled with android studio in your gradle.properties file:
org.gradle.java.home=/usr/local/android-studio/jre
Linux
Open /etc/environment in any text editor like nano or gedit and add the following line:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/open-jdk"
Windows
Start the System Control Panel applet (Start - Settings - Control
Panel - System).
Select the Advanced tab.
Click the Environment
Variables button.
Under System Variables, click add button, then past the following lines:
in Variable Name : JAVA_HOME
in Variable Value : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.x.x_xxx
where x.x_xxx jdk version you can get your jdk version from here C:\Program Files\Java
Under System Variables, select Path, then click Edit,then click new button then past the following line:
%JAVA_HOME%/bin;
This worked for me:
I was getting message
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121 contains a valid JDK installation.
In Android Studio, check your SDK Location.
File, Project Structure, SDK Location, JDK Location.
Example: C:\android-studio\android-studio\jre
Copy the tools.jar file in the C:\android-studio\android-studio\jre\lib folder into the C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121\lib folder.
Retry.
Like other answers I set org.gradle.java.home property in gradle.properties file. But path with \ separators did not work (building on windows 10):
Java home supplied via 'org.gradle.java.home' is invalid. Invalid
directory: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_65
So instead of
org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65
i had to use
org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_65
then the build was successful
Problem is that project is build with JRE instead of JDK and since I was building it from eclipse this also worked:
In Window>Preferences>Gradle>Arguments specify Workspace JRE and specify your JDK.
In Window>Preferences>Java>InstalledJREs specify your JDK as default
In my case (Windows 10) after Java update I lost my Enviroment Variables, so I fixed added the variables again, based in the following steps https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-the-java_home-variable-in-windows-8895.html
I solved problem on this way:
download file tools-1.8.0.jar on http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/t/Downloadtools180jar.htm
unzip file and rename to tools.jar
copy to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191\lib folder
Retry
Put in gradle.properties file the following code line:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_45
Example image
Use this with modern versions of gradle:
def compiler = javaToolchains.compilerFor { languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(java.sourceCompatibility.majorVersion) }.get()
implementation compiler.metadata.installationPath.files('lib/tools.jar')
Did you make sure that tools.jar made it on the compile class path? Maybe the path is incorrect.
task debug << {
configurations.compile.each { println it }
}
Adding JDK path through JAVA_HOME tab in "Open Gradle Run Configuration" will solve the problem.
Could not find tools.jar
MacOS
echo export "JAVA_HOME=\$(/usr/libexec/java_home)" >> ~/.bash_profile
And restart Shell
I've tried most of the top options but it seems that I had something wrong with my environment setup so they didn't help. What solved the issue for me was to re-install jdk1.8.0_201 and jre1.8.0_201 and this solved the error for me. Hope that helps someone.
For me this error ocurred after trying to use audioplayers flutter library.
To solve i got tools.jar of the folder:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib
and pasted on
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\lib.
After this the build worked fine.
My Android Studio Version: 4.2.1
The "tools.jar" is provided by Oracle JDK which is required by android studio for compilation - I have faced this issue after updating android studio to latest version in my PC.
To Resolve the issue follow below steps:
In Android studio File -> Project Structure -> SDKs (Under Platform Settings)
A) Add JDK path by pressing '+' symbol in middle pane if suppose JDK/JDK home path is not present in the middle pane already (Middle pane also contains the Downloaded Android SDK's)
B) Java sdk will be usually present/installed in the path 64 bit => "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC" (In my PC it is 1.8.0_202) or 32 bit => "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC"
If suppose you don't have JDK installed in your PC,
please download and install from Oracle Java website
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
Set JDK and JRE Path(Download both from webpage mentioned in step 2) in system environment variable
A) Press windows key type "Edit the system environment variables" and open the application
B) Go to Advanced -> Environment Variables Under system variables add JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME as below
Set Windows system environment variable
Add jdk lib path on the Path environment variable under user variables (this step is required only if the error not resolves with the previous steps)
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC\lib
For Windows add JDK home path to the Gradle property file as org.gradle.java.home.
If you don't have gradle.properties file then create a new one and add
Ex: org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241
I believe similar questions have been asked before, but none of them matches mine perfectly. So I'm posting this one.
I'm using the Eclipse IDE in ADT bundle. Currently I'm doing some basic Java programming. Prior to this, I had downloaded and installed JDK from Orcale. The problem occurred when trying to set up Javadoc, as it needed the path to javac. Now, if I try where java, I get C:\Windows\System32\java.exe. If I try where javac, I get not found error. To complicate matters even further, echo %PATH% gives (I've added newlines for clarity):
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin;C:\Python32;C:\Program Files\Calibre2\
But guess what, there's no folder by the name of jdk1.7.0_03 in the Program Files\Java directory! All I have is the "jre" folder.
I'm thoroughly confused. Where is the javac program? Where was the JDK installed? Am I missing something important here? Please help!
First download the jdk from oracle. During the installation, you should find a path to install your jdk, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin. Then you should set up the environment variable for your jdk in Control panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. The detail can be found in this post.
The javac file is usually in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin\javac
If you can't find it in that path, maybe the one that you installed is not jdk or maybe it is the wrong jdk. You don't need to install JRE, the JDK package has already contained JRE in it.
If you can't find javac in that path, maybe you installed the wrong java executable. Try to uninstall Java and install it again using the newest update.
Don't forget to set the CLASSPATH.
