First java project. Need help with compiler Posted: Feb 26, 2002 9:10 PM

This is the first time I've used java.
I can't get javac to work on my home PC.

I'm trying to run my files off of my A drive. JDK1.3.0_02 is on my C drive. Whenever I try to run javac in DOS it says "bad command or filename".

I can run the classes after their compiled but I can't get that far.

set your PATH env. variable to the bin directory of your jdk installation

Specifically, add this line to your autoexec.bat:

set path=%path%;c:\jdk1.3.0_02\bin

You can also type that same line on the command line, to add it to your current session (so you don't have to reboot before you can use javac).

Additionally, there is the quick 'n' dirty full path specification route: instead of
"javac HelloWorld.java"
you use the full path to the javac program, like so:
"c:\jdk1.3.0_02\bin\javac HelloWorld.java"


Finally, once you get javac working, you need to download the Jikes Java compiler (from http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/) and start using that instead!
