tools.jar issue Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin

Running: mvn install

Getting this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-
plugin:2.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project 1: Fatal error 
compiling: 
tools.jar not found: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_131\..\lib\tools.jar -> 
[Help 1]

Area of POM file error:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.1</version>
            <inherited>true</inherited>

            <configuration>
                <source>1.8</source>
                <target>1.8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

When I look at C:\Program Files\Java I'm not seeing tools.jar under JRE lib folder. I see it under JDK lib folder
