'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command

after insatlling j2sdk1.4.2, when i try to give the command jar -? or javac -? from outside the bin directory of javahome, Error ocurrs as "'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

The class path set is CLASSPATH=D:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin;D:\j2sdk1.4.2\lib;D:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre

Strange behaviour is that while giving java -? from outside the bin directory, it executes properly and displays the help of java command.

Looking forwrd for the reply

thanx in advance

you get 'java' because the bin directory of the JRE is on the PATH environment variable.

The JRE does not have the 'jar' command (only the JDK does).

You need to add the JDK 'bin' directory to your PATH.

Classpath has nothing to do, it only relates to your Java classes.

hth,

> 'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,Make yourself familiar with the way your OS finds a command or executable and the role of the PATH environment variable.
