new to java

Hi friends,

when i'm compiling my 1st program , i'm getting a message

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

so what should i do to compile my program,

is it bcoz of "Java Virtual Machine code" but "jre-6-windows-i586" is installed in my system.

& if its bcoz of JVM , tell me from where i can download for free, send me complete link

thanks in advance

You need the JDK for developing java applications. The JRE is only for running java applications.Here You can download the JDK: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

You need to set the classpath.Right click on "My Computer" if u r using WIndows OS.Then in Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables -> Create "Path" if that doesn't already exists and give the path of the java.exe (it exists in bin folder).
