Compile error

I downloaded J2EE SDK 1.4 UR2, English (filename was j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-windows.exe) onto my laptop, installed and tried compiling a program I am writing for my Java class. Error message returned said 'javac' was not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Huh?

I tried javac Project1.java with no luck, also tried javac -source 1.5 Project1.java and got the same error message.

What happened? Does something need to be in a particular folder or configuration setting before javac will be recognized?

I am fairly sure you need to download and install the J2SDK before the J2EE. Or, may be there is a downloadable bundle that contains both but you only downloaded the J2EE.

add your bin (with such executables as java and javacc) to your PATH environmental variable- elAmericano
