apache giraph build error

Question

I got following error in compiling giraph. I'm using ubuntu 16.04 with java 1.8 and maven 3.3.9. Follows detail of mvn -version command:

Apache Maven 3.3.9
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.8.0_171, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre

I cloned with following comand

git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/giraph.git

Hence I tryed following maven commands but I got always the same error. Could you please tell me what is my error?

1° attempt:

mvn -Phadoop_2 -fae -DskipTests clean install

2° attempt:

mvn -e -DskipTests clean install

I ALWAYS OBTAIN THIS ERROR:

Answer 1

I apologize, I was using jre instead of jdk. As documented, for example, http://roufid.com/no-compiler-is-provided-in-this-environment/ or https://coderanch.com/t/671424/build-tools/Maven-Compile-Failure-Maven-Thinks, if JAVA_HOME points to jre instead of jdk, maven doesn't properly work. I repeat, I'm sorry for my trivial question.

Furthermore, I was confusing by the fact that I succeed in build giraph 1.1 with jre but giraph 1.2 gives me above error if I use jre instead of jdk.
