Does Maven need JDK

I am new to Maven, Java ...when I do a mvn clean package on a Java project, it does create the JAR file for me.

But still how can I know if I have JDK or is it still JRE?

I am on OSX 10.8

Maven requires JDK for compilation.

To check if you have JDK compiler you can type: javac in terminal.

Maven needs a JDK, and not a JRE.

Do this for more information on which version of Java you have installed:

echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $PATH
which java
java -version
mvn --version
