When building JPostal I issued the command:

./gradlew assemble

I get the following error:

checking for gcj... no
checking for guavac... no
checking for jikes... no
checking for javac... no
configure: error: no acceptable Java compiler found in $PATH
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.
:buildJniLib FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':buildJniLib'.
> Process 'command 'sh'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

The problem is I've added the correct path to the java compiler to environmental variables. In fact when I type javac in CMD it shows all javac options as discussed in this SO answer. Typing javac -version for example in command line shows the correct version: javac 1.8.0_191

I have also set JAVA_HOME environmental variables as suggested in this thread.

Why isn't Java compiler being detected?

UPDATE 1:

The output of the three commands to see the current definition of local, user and system Path.

Local path:

set path

Path=C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin;C:\x\ProgramFiles\Firefox;C:\Windows\System32;
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

User path:

reg query HKCU\Environment /v Path

ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

System path:

reg query "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
    Path    REG_SZ    C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin;C:\x\ProgramFiles\Firefox;C:\Windows\System32;

After posting the information up to UPDATE 4 the System path was modified according to an advice with the Environment Variables control panel dialog window to:

%SystemRoot%\system32
%SystemRoot%
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
%SystemRoot%\System32\OpenSSH\
C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin
C:\x\ProgramFiles\Firefox

Please see the screenshot of the system defined environmental variable for Path below:

Note: I didn't delete Firefox because it is required for internal reasons and I don't think it will effect the other variables defined.

UPDATE 2:

When I execute the command which java in MSYS2 window I get the following output:

which: no java in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

I don't understand why it isn't detecting Java.

UPDATE 3:

When I execute the command where java in CMD I get the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe
C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin\java.exe

UPDATE 4:

In MSYS2 I issued the command:

export PATH=$PATH:"C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin"

and this seemed to solve the problem with javac:

checking for javac... javac
checking if javac works... yes
checking for C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191/include/jni.h... yes

However, I still don't understand why it is not reading the environmental variables correctly.

Additionally, the build still fails due to:

checking for gcj... no
checking for guavac... no
checking for jikes... no
checking for javac... javac
checking if javac works... yes
checking for C:\x\Java\jdk1.8.0_191/include/jni.h... yes
checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
checking for string.h... (cached) yes
checking for size_t... yes
checking for uint16_t... yes
checking for GNU libc compatible malloc... yes
checking for strdup... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

UPDATE 5:

See screenshot below showing the directory Java is installed in:

UPDATE 6:

The screenshot below shows jni.h file present in Java installation folder:
