how to set the class path

[lashu]

Hi all,

I have written the simple java program to print the data, but i am not able to run it.

its giving an error javac is not recognized as an external or internal command

so for this i think the class path is not set properly

or tell me the procedure from begging how to run the java programs

No, if the executable can't be found, it's the PATH that's the problem. You need to add the Java bin directory to the system path.

For example, on my Windows XP system PATH, the Java entry looks like this:

C:\dev\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\bin;

You might also like to set JAVA_HOME to the Java directory (e.g. C:\dev\Java\jdk1.5.0_12).
