I've purchased a new computer since last using Java (Windows XP), and know I need to set the path to be able to get it to compile from the command line. I've installed J2EE, and I've installed TextPad.
I noticed that through the installation process, the following PATH user variable was created: C:\Sun\AppServer\bin
I added the following to the PATH variable: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin; and created a new CLASSPATH variable that is just "." (a single dot). This was per the instructions on the following link:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~teliot/Path_and_Classpath.htm I restarted the computer and typed java and javac respectively in a command line window. java was recognized, but javac was not.
I also opened TextPad and copy and pasted Hello.java code in, saved it as such, and tried to compile it from within TextPad. It says "The system cannot find the file specified".
So obviously things are not working. Could somebody please help?
