javac missing??

843810Apr 5 2008 — edited Sep 4 2008
I am new to java and am taking a course in java now and downloaded JDK 6 update 5. We are using the command prompt currently and later will be using eclipse to compile. well in the command prompt I am trying to use javac to compile and I am getting the following output.

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

well looking through the internet some others are saying that this version did not have javac which is hard to believe. So my question is, what am i doing wrong to compile a text.java program? Any help would be appreciated.
