java comand works but not javac?

Solution 1

I had previously problems with the path containing a blank. I would suggest to change the path from

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25

to

C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_25

Hope this solves your problem!

You can also try to specify the full pathname.

Instead of

%JAVA_HOME%\bin

try

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin

This worked for me on Windows 10 64-bit Education Edition with Java 8.0.101

    ok so I got a new PC

    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Service Pack 1

    I installed jdk-7u25-windows-x64 ( jdk 1.7.0_25)

    It is installed in default location C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25

    I set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25

    I added %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the Path environment variable (yes I used a ; before I added it)

    Clicked Ok

    Closed all CMD windows opened them up

    And now If I run the command java I get the expected output

    But If I run the javac command I get this

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

    I have tried Fiddling with the path but no luck, and have restarted my PC etc. no luck

    Also it seems to work if I am in the jdk\bin directory

    C:\>cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin
    
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin>javac -version
    javac 1.7.0_25
    
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin>
    

    how do I get javac command to run correctly like java is doing
