Hi Alex You need to have a environment variable called CLASSPATH . The class path is the path that the Java runtime environment searches for classes and other resource files. This should point to the lib folder "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib" Then on the command prompt enter javac. This should be recognizable now. Thanks

To: "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" <java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com> Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 7:56 AM Hi! I was preparing my new computer for this course and dowloaded the "JDK + Java EE Bundle." No previous version of Java was installed on this machine. 1) command line: java -version gives the following: java version "1.6.0_17" Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot (TM) 64 Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode). 2) My HelloWorld.java file did not compile with error message: javac is not recognized as an internal... 3) Then I went to Environmental Variables and ammended the path with the following: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin. The path already had the following in it: C:\Program Files\Sun\SDK\bin 4) I went to install the Acrobat reader/viewer for free and it would not install and gave error: Java VM not installed. -------------- I think I was suppose to install the SE version. Also, I started the server but did not know how to stop it? The JDK is installed and so therefore the JRE is installed and I thought this would have what is need? Can I ask for your feedback on this?
