I believe the Emacs shell command runs bash in interactive mode while the
compile command runs bash in noninteractive mode. The bash interactive mode
loads your ~/.bashrc file, which may set the PATH variable, by default
while the noninteractive mode does not. Thus, it's possible to have
different paths when running javac from the Emacs shell buffer and via the
compile command.
