Maven Java Home Configuration

I installed the JDK and configured Maven. The call mvn -version i get

returns:

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly. This environment variable is required to run this program. NB: JAVA_HOME must point to JDK, not JRE

$JAVA_HOME

the variable is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin

in the system variables.

The call %JAVA_HOME%

returns the path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin

.

Where is the problem?

As you can see in the documentation , the variable JAVA_HOME

should point to the java install path, not the folder bin

.



Change it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131

The question is about Windows, but I came here trying to solve the problem on Ubuntu. I faced a similar problem. I configured $JAVA_HOME

in /etc/environment

for example$JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_JDK

$JAVA_HOME=/home/max/jdk1.8.0_144

Carefully with



  • Space after path declaration $JAVA_HOME=/home/max/jdk1.8.0_144[[_NO_WHITE_SPACE_AFTER_DECLARATION]]

  • Don't add a double apostrophe $JAVA_HOME="/home/max/jdk1.8.0_144"

  • Don't put / bin eg $JAVA_HOME=/home/max/jdk1.8.0_144/bin

    <- This is wrong.
