[news.eclipse.newcomer] Maven can't find jdk

[Dan Grindstaff <dan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All, I have installed the maven plugin with eclipse and on startup it keeps complaining about runing in jre and not being able to fin jdk.  I have modified my system and user environmental variables to include JAVA_HOME pointing to the jdk, even added a variable to the project JAVA_HOME pointing to the jdk but still maven complains.  I cannot build a jar from the project.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated. TIA.
