'javac' not recognisable even after Environment Variables.

[freelance84]

Hi,

I'm am completely new to Java. Previous coding has been solely web based (php, js...ect).

I am following this guide. I have installed jdk1.6.0_26, i have followed the installation problems guide and written into the Environmental Variables the following: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\ and named them 'javac'...

However I am still getting the ''javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'...

I've tried unistalling and reinstalling but that hasn't changed anything... Does anyone know what I'm missing? i would very much appreciate a helping hand here... i've been trying to just do the hello world now for a few hours and i cant compile it..

Go to the directory you put in your path environment variable; do you see a javac.exe file in that directory?

kind regards,

Jos

yup... C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin\javac.exe

It's all there... i dont get it.

Well, i found a remote compiler: JXXX Compiler Service

Compiled the basic HelloWorld.java, tried to run it from CMD but it failed... really don't understand what i'm doing wrong... i've attached an image of the error...

You should run it as:

java HelloWorld

(skip the .class part). Also check your path variable for typos. If the path really points to the directory where javac.exe is stored you should be able to run it.

kind regards,

Are you saying you named the environment variable javac?
That path should be added to the PATH variable.

Ooooo... :) thank you very much Tolls and Jos

You can show us your PATH variable by opening a command prompt and entering: PATH
Here's what I get

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

D:\Norms\Norms Tools>path
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Ja
va\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;C:\BatchFiles;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;C:\WINDOWS\syst
em32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

D:\Norms\Norms Tools>

after installing java check for JRE too

JRE will only execute ur program

go to enviromental variables ---> sys variables --> go to path --> edit --> copy the jdk bin folder path

save .... apply .... restart ur sys once

becoz javac app resides in jdk bin folder .... so u have to choose that path ......
