如何纠正我的第一个Spring Boot POM

Question

The POM.xml is like something like i have pasted below. I have tried the oracle dependency that also have some problem. I do not understand what are the differences between normal POM and spring boot POM. I came to know it have a <parent> to resolve version conflict. Apart from that what mistakes are there in my POM i need to know

Please explain me the error and way to solve it.

I have included the snapshot of my environment variable

Answer 1

This is not a pom issue. Change your environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to a jdk directory rather than jre.

Answer 2

The error is telling you that you tried to compile java classes with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) to compile java classes.

Solution: Install a JDK and change to JAVA_HOME enviroment variable to the JDK directory.

Answer 3

Finally two steps helped me

1) Build path---> Removing the JRE library and adding new with properties Standard VM Location

2) Added in POM.xml

<executable>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\javac</executable>    
<fork>true</fork>
