Setting proper PATH variable to use javac on Windows 7.

954468Aug 8 2012 — edited Aug 8 2012
Hello,

I am using an old Head First Java book that covers Java 5. I am attempting to use javac to compile my source files, but it appears that javaFX has upped the complexity. I'm getting that javac is not a recognized command. My PATH variable currently points to the bin directory of my javasdk (C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX 2.1 SDK\bin\). Is there a path I can point to in this latest release (I downloaded JDK 7u5) that will allow me to use javac? Is there a command that is similar to javac that is called through options with javafxpackager?

Thank you,
Vincent
