I you are using eclipse IDE Right click on project ->Build Path->Configure Build Path->Libraries

Configure JDK there instead of JRE

Maven is an external tool. Your IDE can call it with the right click and stuff but it is basically external tool. By default it uses your JAVA_HOME variable (which should point to JDK and not to JRE). You can check for example with:

C:\Users\User>echo %JAVA_HOME%
 Output:   C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_152

You can also use 

mvn -Dmaven.compiler.fork=true -Dmaven.compiler.executable=/path/to/the/javac compile

for compilation with a specific compiler but I guess that's not your problem. Just set your JAVA_HOME properly and you should be fine. Also you can try running command line maven. It will help debugging easier and is basically cleaner way to do it. Maybe the IDE is setting a java version different than the system one. You can check with

mvn -version

Also you can check if you have JDK or JRE by:

javac -version (this will work if you have JDK)

The problem is not caused by the dependency but, as clearly staded in the build log:

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

To set your JAVA_HOME and make Selenium WebDriver work look here
