JRE is just the runtime environment for Java, which is for the sole purpose of running applications that have already been compiled into Java bytecode. If you actually want to do any sort of software development with Java, you'll have to install the SDK, freely available from Sun's website.

Hey there,

What error do you get when you try to use javac?

Also, is your JAVA_HOME variable set, and $JAVA_HOME/bin in your PATH?

Thanks :)
