java build failed,maven build failed：无法找到Javac编译器：jre或jdk问题

I have my JAVA_HOME set to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18

After I run maven install I get this message from eclipse:

Reason:

Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\..\lib\tools.jar

Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and

not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required).

In most cases you can change the location of your Java

installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

I'm certain that this is the tricky part

Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or

above and

not a JRE

When I run configuration its set to JRE6, how do I change it to JDK 1.6 which I have already installed

EDIT

I even tried to modify the plugin :

org.apache.maven.plugins

maven-compiler-plugin

2.0.2

1.6

1.6

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin

Still I get the same error

Maybe I forgot to say I use eclipse maven plugin .. how can I change from JRE to JDK in eclipse ?

解决方案

You could try updating the JDK Eclipse is using, as follows:

Add and set the JRE in Window->Preferences...->Java->Installed JREs:

JRE type: Standard VM JRE

Name: jdk1.6.0_18

JRE home directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18

If this is not the case, it's possible that the brackets and spaces in the JAVA_HOME path are causing issues. Try copying your JDK to a different location and updating your JAVA_HOME.
