Java compile Error

[bat2004]

I just starting to learn Java, but i cant compile any of my .java files source codes in cmd, i get a error that says, Javac command is not found, i looked this up and found out how to slove the problem by setting a path varible, but it does not seem to be working for me.

I have a path varible set in the system and user varible, both with values "C:\Program Files\java\jre1.6.0_06\bin\". I have also tried compiling in the /bin folder, with source file in it with no luck. The command i am typing in cmd, is

javac nameofsourcefile.java

Hope someone can help me out, thanks.

you're trying to compile in the jre, that is just the runtime, try to download the jsdk

I assume you have jdk installed in your system too.
Looking at the jre path you wrote, I think it is installed under jdk1.6.0_06 folder.

If it the case then set PATH variable to "C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\".

I have the same problem and my classpath is set to "C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin\".
