Hello,
I've been struggling with this comandline for quite a while.. I set up my CLASSPATH perfectly. When I type "java -version" it works perfectly, when I type "java myClass" the program runs beautifuly. but when I try compliting .java files, it says something bout "javac" does not exist or something..
But why? If all the other stuff working, why doesn't javac work?
Any ideas?

uhmmm 
Do you have to add that seperately also? I just add the path to the bin directory in my CLASSPATH. So in my CLASSPATH I'll just put a ";" in there and add the path to the javac.exe? Where would the javac.exe be located?
Thank you so much!

By default, Java gets installed in the Program files folder in your System volume.
Usually, javac.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin where 1.6.0_20 is the version.
Bottom line : Locate the installation, copy the address of 'bin' folder. Add ;<Address> to the path environment variable.

On my system it is installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
Make sure you jave sdk (AKA jdk) installed as apposed to just the runtime environment. What operating system are you using?

Check if the file javac.exe is in the bin folder or not. If not, reinstall jdk.

Are you sure that you have the Jdk instead of the JRE?
