Minecraft Forge Setup JAVA_HOME Variable - Ubuntu

0
votes

As the title suggested, I have Ubuntu, and I was trying to tun the command ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace in the Minecraft Forge folder, but I got the following error at about 70%

Execution failed for task ':recompileMc'.

Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK. It is currently set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre"

While I have the JAVA_HOME variable set to the JDK and not the JRE, I confirmed it by running export in terminal, and the following was stated

declare -x JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64"

Please help me with this problem!!

"/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre"

JRE stands for Java Runtime Enviroment. usually the one without the compiler.

it should be jdk, not jre

Also, I suggest installing jdk 8 if you are planning on making mods for 1.8+
