Hmmm...maybe that's the reason. Maybe you have a .bashrc or something
which is messing with your path.
What if you run "bash" from the Windows Start Menu. Then, within the bash
window, type "javac". Does that work? If not, then perhaps you have
bash-induced path problems.
I just thought of something else. I don't know how the JDK installs
itself, but when you install Python it does some Windows (registry?) magic
so that the command "python" works even if the directory containing
python.exe isn't in your PATH. However, this mechanism doesn't work from
Emacs, and you must explicitly set the correct PATH. If the previous idea
doesn't pan out, then try this one (with respect to "javac", naturally, not
"python").
