Yes. I would recommend restarting the system once.

[teja dharma]

i did but same problem again.
is this correct
JAVA_HOME
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0;.;
or
JAVA_HOME
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0
do i have to add CLASSPATH ,PATH
variables too

[Campbell Ritchie]

Don't know, but the first line looks suspect. You don't usually add . to your PATH on Windows. Don't set a system CLASSPATH.

This also appears to be in the wrong forum.

[teja dharma]

then suggest me the forum where i can find answer for this

The given below are the system environmental variables with values i have added according to my system.

JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0

CLASSPATH C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0\bin

PATH C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0\bin

Is this correct ? if not what are the environmental variables with values? Do i have to add for system or user? As for now i added for both system and user do i have to restart my pc?

Moving to IDE forum

Remove the CLASSPATH setting. It certainly does no good to point it to the JDK 'bin' directory.

You will have problems with the JDK installed into a directory with spaces in it. Move it to a directory that doesn't have any spaces, like C:\Java\j2sdk1.5.0 and update your environment variables accordingly.
