hello

i tried using the javac command: javac test.java
but i got this error above.

i have set my path correctly to: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
(by the way in there there is no file called javac)

but still it doesn't work.
do i have to install java_ee_sdk-5_07-jdk-6u16-windows.exe?

 

Hi,

Check the Directory C:\Program Files\Java, if this exist.
Check what JRE are installed, you can findout using folder contains in this Java Folder and set path to the bin of that.

If there are no Java Folder or no JRE folder inside it you need to install the
java_ee_sdk-5_07-jdk-6u16-windows.exe.

 

You need to install Java Development Kit ( JDK ).

 

check whether you have jdk installed in your system. if yes, set the path to c:\program files\java\jdk\bin

 

solved i just needed jdk
