Still Nothing's Working

[Guest_imported]

I think something REALLY is wrong with my Java compiler. Everyone says that I just run the program, put in "Javac [filename].java" and it compiles. But it never does. It just says "Bad Command or File Name" everytime I put that in. I'm going to try to reinstall it when I have time. If it still doesn't work after that, any idea what I should do?

I downloaded this:

Java 2 SDK, v 1.3.0 Software for Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / NT 4.0 (Intel Platform)

first of all type &quot;javac&quot; and &quot;java&quot; on the command prompt this should show various options available with the above commands.
If not then your java package is not installed correctly reinstall or set your path in &quot;Autoexec.bat&quot; file properly.
if yes make sure you are not including any package name in your *.java source file
good luck

I had the same problem, but the solution was simple. You must be sure to have the CLASSPATH and the PATH in your autoexec.bat (like hersh says). Something like

PATH C:\jdk1.2.2\bin

SET CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar

Hi, I'm back after a long time. Got a bit busy with other things. Now I'm back with trying to learn Java.

First, where do I put those PATH and CLASSPATH lines in the BAT file?
Second, I ran the AUTOEXEC.BAT from the MS-DOS Prompt and it's just an anti-virus thing. Are you sure it will work if I do this?

If you go in the faq section under this java(sun) forum you will find a document how to get the jdk working.
