command line

I'm trying to set the windows "path" variable to read javac.exe

PATH=

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\MSSQL7\BINN;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\javatools\maven-2.0.6\bin\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin

I'm not sure why javac is not being recognised by cmd.exe. Any workaround? Can I use the CLASSPATH instead (somehow)? How?

I also noted that javac.exe is not available within C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01 or its sub-folders. Why is this?

Do you actually have a space between the last semicolon ";" and the path to the java bin, as shown in your post. If so, that is probably your problem.

I tried that as well and javac still doesn't execute.

Ask on a windows forum how to properly set the PATH variable and troubleshoot it there. This is not a Java issue.

the problem is the space in the directory where he installed the JDK.

Either install it in a directory without spaces (preferred) or make sure the directory name is quoted everywhere you use it.

Remember to restart your computer when you modify the 'Path'. Double check where you have installed the JDK/JRE.

No need to restart the PC, just open another command shell. Changes made to environment variables are not reflected in command shells that are already open.
