Free download javac

[Hari]

Hello all,

I am very familar with java and its resources, but one problem I have is its
compiler. I have javac on one computer, but I need to transfer to some other
computers in my house. I know its freely downloadable, as some of my friends
have gotten it off of the internet. The problem is, whenever I download
javac, restart the computer, and type in javac *.java into my command
prompt, it comes up with a message that says:

'javac' is not a recognized......

Naturally, I've tried many many times to move it from one PC to another by
searching the hard drive with the keyword javac. Nothing has seemed to work
so far. Even though I think I've searched all over the internet, if anyone
has a link to download the java Compiler, not the java SDK, I would be more
that happy to accept since I've been working on trying to download javac for
about 6 months now.

Hello all,

If that were true, you would already know that you need an entire
environment to run "javac". But clearly you do not know this.

Since the package is free, why not download and install the entire JDK that
is appropriate to your OS, and install it on each machine?

If you copy the "javac" executable only, very likely nothing will work. If
you install the package, very likely everything will work.

Also, for the best, most pointed advice, always state your operating system.

Sorry, but you need the SDK to make the compiler work and locate all the
built-in classes. Check the documentation and rethink how the process
works.
Hint: Would you try to copy gcc to another platform without the linker,
libraries, etc. it requires to generate an executable?

'javac' is not a recognized......

might be the dreaded "class path" error thinga-ma-jig, too.

Classpath? Nope.
Path? Likely.

Though other posts also indicates the OP only copies javac.exe from other
machines, and haven't installed the SDK.
