Hello
I am trying to learn java on my own. I have downloaded the Java 2 platform standard edition (J2SE), but it does not have javac.exe so that I can compile a program!
Would somebody please help me!
Thanks

Jump to Postare you sure javac is missing. Remember you need to add the path to javac.exe to your %PATH% (windows) or $PATH (linux) environment variable.
…
for example type echo %PATH% at a windows command prompt, and see if the path to the bin directory inside where you installed J2SE is present.
Jump to Postit's sounds to me then that you downloed the JRE (RE stands for run-time environment) instead of the JDK (DK Developer Kit) only JDK will have javac.exe
