[J-core] [Help request] I can't get the microcode generator to run

[Geoff Salmon]

Hi Robert

According to leiningen's source, that message is printed when the static 
method javax.tools.ToolProvider/getSystemJavaCompiler returns null. That 
seems to happen when the java binary you're running is from a jre and 
not a jdk.

https://wiki.debian.org/JavaPackage describes ways of switching which 
jdk/jre 'java' will run. Maybe the following will switch to use the jdk?

# update-java-alternatives -l
# update-java-alternatives -s jdk-8-oracle-x64


 From your "java -version" output, it looks like the java being run 
isn't one of the listed openjdk packages. Maybe it belongs to an oracle 
jre that didn't show up in your "grep jdk"?
