Maven Error: No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

Have you came across below Maven error while running maven install or build command through Eclipse.

The error states that : No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

This error message clearly tells us two things:

• "No compiler is provided in this environment.": While running maven install or build command for our project, it couldn't detect the required compiler due to some missing/incorrect Eclipse configuration. 
• "Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?": It states the probable root cause of the issue i.e maybe JRE is added to the build path of the newly created java project. 

This article is a How To Guide to show the steps with screenshots to fix the above issue.
