website help: I’m trying to learn Java at the minute and I’m getting - Help.com

I’m trying to learn Java at the minute and I’m getting really confused as to what software I have to download from the Sun Microsystems website.

The compiled HTML tutorial which I’m using says they change the name each release from Java JDK, Java SDK, blah blah blah…

I’ve tried this once but gave up and now trying it again and last time I had the same problem.

Does anyone know which file to download which is the Java Compiler?

Could you give me the download link to it please?

Another thing.

The one I’ve downloaded is ;
jdk-6u10-windows-i586-p

and after installing it, I type javac in CMD just to make sure I downloaded and/or installed it properly and it says
“javac is not recognized as an internal…..”

Dude, if your on windows you’re going to have to add the Java BIN directory to your SYSTEM path, try doing a little research on your own.

A basic google search gives you this:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/instal…

Google is your friend…

you installed the right one
Probably javac is not recognized because it is’t in the $PATH variable

No. I mean read the ‘installation’ link I posted. It describes how to add the java/javac binary to your PATH.

To update path variable in windows,

Right click on my computer
select properties
Click the advanced tab
Click environmental variables
Check if PATH is there in user variables, if not create one
If you java path is c:\java, add the following to the end of PATH variable value
;c:\java\bin
