SophE, It looks to me like your having trouble understanding "Environment Variables", %JAVA_HOME%\bin is an environment variable...its sorta like a roadsign but for your computer... like a roadsign that says "New York exit 19" it gives you a direction to drive your car. Environment variables map your computer to a folder where it can look for support files to compile, and run your projects. Here is a great site that help me understand them...
