It's really a bad day for me, I have spend allot of time download zip version of latest Spring Tool Suite based on Eclipse 4.4.1 and now I am getting following error.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Does anyone know what is the issue?

You can choose any of following solution to fix [ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?. 

Solution - 1 No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK

• Click on Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Add -> Standard VM and Select JAVA_HOME. 

 

• Select New JRE from Installed JREs and Press OK

Solution - 2 No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK

Most simple and working in all the scenario 

• Step 1 - Open the installed directory of Spring Tool Suite (STS)
• Step 2 - Right click on STS.ini
• Step 3 - Enter -VM JAVA_HOME/bin/javaw.exe and restart Eclipse Spring Tool Suite (STS), Eclipse will automatically pickup this JDK.

Solution - 3 No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK

Open the pom.xml and enter following highlighted line with correct JDK path !!

<build>      <plugins>          <plugin>              <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>              <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>          </plugin>          <plugin>              <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>              <version> 3.1 </version>              <configuration>                  <fork> true </fork>                  <executable>D:\jdk1. 7 .0_25\bin\javac.exe</executable>              </configuration>          </plugin>      </plugins> </build>
