Java(tm) Se Dev.kit 6 Update 2 And Netbeans Ide 6.8 by tuazor: 10:44pm On Dec 15, 2011 |
with my strong desire to be a programmer in Java specifically, i followd some thread on this forum (very good) and i was told that to begin programming in Java you need two things viz: 1 A Java Software Edition and 2 An IDE (NETBEANS OR ECLIPSE) or for a start a text Editor(notepad or textpad) following this information, i bought JAVA(TM) SE DEVELOPMENT KIT 6 UPDATE 2 and NETBEANS 6.8 since i find it difficult downloading them. i then installed both on my system successfully. my problem now is when i try to run a program from my command prompt after typing and saving it in my text editor (notepad), it displays "Javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. i don't know if my installation is wrong or i need to configure my paths but what ever the case may be, am pleading seriously, i need a professional to please guide me from the beginning i.e from installation, configuration and anything else that i need to set so my program's can Run successfully. i already understand some few things in java though, but my headache is this "Javac" thing displaying "Javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. it really knows how to make me unhappy. please i need help. even when i type javac in my command prompt it displays same thing. what do i do? |

Are you sure that's the correct path to your bin directory though? Navigate to your bin directory under your JDK installation and cut and paste that and add it to your path. http://java.sun.com/new2java/programming/learn/ |

You need the Java SDK |
Re: Java(tm) Se Dev.kit 6 Update 2 And Netbeans Ide 6.8 by tuazor: 10:51pm On Dec 17, 2011 |
there is javac.exe in the directory even when i used search from my start up menu, i see a lot of javac.exe even as a folder. @seun is the java SDK not included in the jdk-6u2-windows-1586-p.exe ? |

Re: Java(tm) Se Dev.kit 6 Update 2 And Netbeans Ide 6.8 by Bossman(m): 4:46am On Dec 18, 2011 |
And you have actually downloaded the JDK. If not, then go here and download it - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html |
Re: Java(tm) Se Dev.kit 6 Update 2 And Netbeans Ide 6.8 by tuazor: 8:41pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
