Hey, I have Borland JBuilder but I can't get the reg key to work, but I want to brush up on my Java skills. So I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good easy java compiler I could use until I get Jbuilder working? Any suggestions would be apreciated. |

Grab the standard Java Development Kit from Sun's site and use it via the command-line. |

To clarify on WTD's point, that would be http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp for Sun's Java compiler. |

Only thing is when I do that I can never get it to work, so I will try and if I have problems hopefully one of you can help me <3. What usually happens is I try to Javac something and the thing says It can't find the program Javac because it is not in the same directory as the file I am compiling is... my uncle once set it up so I could get around that but my comp crashed and I forgot how he did it =/ |

Windows 98 or ME? You'll probably have to manually add the directory that holds the Java binaries to your PATH. Do this by editing C:\autoexec.bat to include:

Ok. You installed the JDK from Sun's site, right? The one that came with the Borland software is probably a tad weird. Anyway, open a command prompt window and type "path" and hit enter. What do you see? |

it is also a good idea to set the JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH variables.. some applications require these variables set. |

When path is entered in a command prompt I get these paths: c:\Windows\system32 c:\windows c:\windows\system32\Wbem |

In Windows 2000 it was Start -> Settings -> Advanced to set environment variables. Not sure where that is in XP. |
