C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\javac.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

Thanks very much for your help. So here is what I'm trying to do:

I am trying to use Jenkins for the first time, but every time a build is run it gives me an error that reads:

[ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error: [ERROR] '"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\javac.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

It's looking for javac.exe in the wrong folder as it's actually inside C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_131\\bin\\javac.exe (Inside the bin folder)

Every tutorial I read on the internet asks me to do this set up inside the System Variables and I think I've done every single combination of those. (I know there's plenty of SO questions similar to these one but unfortunately I haven't been able to fix my issue using their solution). That's what I have at the moment:

System Variables

User Variables

If anyone could please point out what I'm doing wrong that would be really very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!! :)

Answer 1

I don't see a lot of variables there. Are those your system or user environment variables? Use the system environment variables.

• Check your java path (go to "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_02" and copy the address).
• Go to your System Environment Variables and create a new one called JAVA_HOME.
• Insert "%JAVA_HOME%\\bin" at the beginning of the Path variable followed by semicolon
• Close and reopen your command prompt

Answer 2

将其添加到环境变量中，并在JDK bin位于PATH中的位置添加链接

Answer 3

I think I found what was causing the problem. This line on the project POM was the one with the wrong JDK path:

Thanks for the help anyways. :)
