Hi Friends,
Please try to help.
While trying to compile a java file, i am getting the following error.

C:\>javac HelloWorld.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Later i tried the absolute path, still the same error...

C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0\bin>javac HelloWorld.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

When i check the folder where java is installed "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0\bin" I am not able to find a file called javac but i can find files like java.exe, javaw.exe etc.
Please let me know how can i compile.

Thanks and Regards
JG
