javac doesn't work
Please support our Java advertiser: Programming Forums - DaniWeb Sister Site

The reason why the javac doesn't work indicates that you are not pointing to the right path for the compiler. I had exactly the same problem because the path of the environmental variable was pointing to the Run time Engine instead of the Development kit. You need to change it from the JRE to the JDK folder.

I'm sorry, but you do realise that this thread was over two years dead, until you rejuvinated it, right?

i realise that the the thread is old but it is the first result that comes up if you google 'javac doesn't work' so i thought that it might be useful for other people if there is actually a resolution to this thread. apologies if i caused any inconvenience but even late replies are appreciated in the forums of the company i work for

But there was a resolution. did you see posts 8-10.
In post 8 a restart, in post 9 "set the PATH", in post 10 explained that the restart simply let the change (to the path that the installation itself did) take hold globally (she/he was probably using a cmd shell that had been open for a while).
So, as you can see, the answer was already given. Please do not resurrect old threads unless absolutely necessary (which it almost never is).

Hi,
You havn'y set the path for the bin folder.
go to Environment variables & add the path "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin" into existing Key PATH.
It will work properly.
Until you will get "Unrecognized Command javac"
Enjoy.
