Java Newbie

[LabRat]

I Downloaded Java from Sun's site onto a Win 2k box and did the installation. Tried to compile an example source (example.java) using the following :

c:\java\javac example.java

only to get an error

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

Does any kind soul have an idea of what I'm doing wrong here? I'm also on SP3 with all current critical updates.

You need to set up your paths.

Add this to the end of your autoexec.bat, or in a separate batch file, that you run before compiling:

path=%PATH%;c:\[whereever the JDK is installed]\bin
SET CLASSPATH = .;c:\[whereever the JDK is installed]\lib

Also, you have to make sure that you are in the correct directory to compile the source code.
