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.
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.
I'm trying to install Java to use Eclipse (I followed all instructions to install Java and Eclipse) but my Eclipse is not starting due to some bad configuration I guess. I can't figure out why it's not working for me.
Eclipse Installation:
Extracted Eclipse at C:\eclipse
Created a shortcut to my desktop having target C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
When I try to run Eclipse with this shortcut, I see following Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears. Eclipse does not start at all.
JAVA Installation:
Installed JDK at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
Installed JRE at C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Environment Variables Configuration:
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin;
I tested my Java installation using the console and figured out this issue but I don't know how to fix it, and I guess this is causing Eclipse not to start.
Problem:
Go to Eclipse folder, locate eclipse.ini file, add following entry (before -vmargs if present):
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\javaw.exe
Save file and execute eclipse.exe.
please try to execute java from
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
i.e from the location where java is installed.
If it is successful, it means that the error lies somewhere in the classpath.
Also, this guy seems to have had the same problem as yours, check it out
Check that downloaded eclipse/JDK/JRE is compatible with your processor/OS architecture that is are they 32bit or 64bit?
Not able to run Appium {“message”:”A new session could not be created. (Original error: ‘java -version’ failed
I used Jdk 1.8 and JRE 1.8, Classpath is also set properly but I observed that Java command gives Error to initialization of VM (java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object)
Solution:
Uninstalled JRE and JDK completely
Installed JRE 1.8 then
Installed JDK 1.8
Set Classpath
check Java command works or not and its working
also able to execute the Appium program thru Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 with JDK1.8 support
I had the same error in my case was when I needed to update jdk 7 to jdk 8, and my bad was just I installed jdk8 and I never installed jre8, only that, the error was solved immediately when I installed jre8.
Try placing the desired java directory in PATH before not needed java directories in your PATH.
I had the same issue on Windows 7 and I had to install both JDK and JRE and it's a success.
I faced the same problem,Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears.Then i noticed due to auto update of java there are two java version installed in my system. when i uninstalled one eclipse started working.
Thanks you..
I've observed this with STS and Eclipse and running java from CMD too on Windows 7/8/10 and following was my simple solution:
Actually, when I installed JDK 8 and STS/Eclipse it created one directory i.e. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath with the following files:
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaws.exe
Along with that, it appended Path Environment variable of System with this location C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
I've just removed above entry from Path Environment variable of System and added the location of the actual JDK instead i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin
Now that is not necessary to add that -vm option in eclipse.ini or
SpringToolSuite4.ini either.
I just spent about 1 hour to figure out possible solution for the same error.
So what I did under MS WIndows 7 is following
Uninstall all Java packages of all versions.
Download last packages Java SE or JRE for your 32 or 64 Windows and install it.
First install JRE and second is Java SE.
Open text editor and paste this code.
public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("test");
}
}
Save it like Hello.java
Go to Console and compile it like
javac Hello.java
Execute the code like
java Hello
Should be no error.
sometime you missed some file like I missed my one file rt.java
so better to check yours .........
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112\jre\lib
0

Below error is thrown when there are multiple versions of jdk on your machine:
error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
so for this Just use below:
set PATH="JDK bin path" in cmd
I had a same issuse, my file location was in D-drive, and then i shifted to the c-Drive and it works.
