Compiler not found - folder "doesn't exist"

This seems like a fairly basic problem.

I just started using Java, and downloaded NetBeans J2SDK for Linux (Distro Suse 9.1). First step is to create "hello world" as always - not a problem. The problem came when I was told to compile.

"Type javac HelloWorldApp.java"

Bash Shell returns: "bash: javac: command not found"

Which didn't surprise me, since Java decided not to install itself in my $PATH variable - or rather, it installed select components into it, of which don't include the ones I'll actually be using.

So, my first intention is to place the location of javac into the $PATH variable.

Which is supposedly "/home/guest/j2sdk/bin"

So now how do I get that into my $PATH variable?

Or am I doing something terribly wrong due to overconfidence, lol.
