Hi Sara, I'm going to address your queries in this mail only; I may address those of the other mail in a separate message. For doubt 1, I've used eclipse for writing java too few time, and I may conclude from these times that eclipse has some way of scanning some common locations on your computer(depending on the running OS) to find a possible working JDK. This's how it seems to automatically detect java installation and set the paths accordingly. However the paths it sets is local only to his environment; it doesn't affect the system-wide settings. This's why you might still not be able to compile and run your programs from the command-line. For doubt 2, fine I know very little about J2EE, but I know for sure that J2SE doesn't need any application servers like TomCat, jBoss, glassFish, ...etc. Hope this helps.

Doubt 1) I did not explicity set any path for jdk/jre explicitly but I am able to run my simple java program. I need to know how to set the path for jdk explicitly. Doubt 2) We don't need to instal Apache Tomcat for J2SE but for J2EE? Will appretiate your help for clearing these basic doubts.
