'NoSuchCompilerException maven package

When trying to run mvn clean package I get the following error:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-
plugin:3.6.0:compile (default-compile) on project rest-webapp: 
Execution default-compile of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:
3.6.0:compile failed: A required class was missing while executing 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.0:compile: 
org/codehaus/plexus/compiler/manager/NoSuchCompilerException

I found numerous suggestions to delete everything in ~/.m2/repository. Doing so does not fix the issue.

Here is my pom.xml:

I am using Mac OSX 10.11.6

$JAVA_HOME is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

$PATH is /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin:/opt/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: The stack trace when I run mvn clean package -X is posted here: http://pastebin.ca/3753171



Solution 1:[1]

The correct way to set up command line java in OS X is to use:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v1.8`

This not only sets the JAVA_HOME environment variable, but also adjusts a bunch of links in /usr/bin so that:

[steve@Steves-MacBook-Pro ~]$ which java
/usr/bin/java
[steve@Steves-MacBook-Pro ~]$ which javac
/usr/bin/javac

applies to the version that you specify in the /usr/libexec/java_home call, therefore there is no need to add $JAVA_HOME/bin to your $PATH.

I'm guessing that you have never done this, so you're getting the Java tooling from /usr/bin which is trumping your $PATH environment because it appears before /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin.

Solution for me is add

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.7.0</version>
        </plugin>
