This error occurs because maven uses java compiler classes available in tools.jar to compile java files. Tools.jar is part of jdk , not the jre. So if you have configured only jre in eclipse , you will get this error. To resolve this , go to prefreneces and select java and configure jre.
Now edit this independent JRE and give path to JDK.
So , to run maven in eclipse , you should have path to jdk , not individual installed JRE.
Post Comments and Suggestions !!!
