Hi, if you use Eclipse you don't need to set any path. The IDE is doing this for you. But if you use e.g. Notepad as an editor you have to tell the system where to find the compiler (javac) and the application launcher (java). Then you have to set the environment variable. You can set the path variable wit set path "$your path" command in MS-DOS command box.
For J2EE you need a weeb server and application server. This can be e.g. Apache Tomcat but also some other Server (e.g. glassfish). If you don't write web-applications or enterprise appliactions, you don't need a server.

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. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/javaprogrammingwithpassion?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
