Your path doesnt contain javac.

Refer this : *java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html

Your path doesnt contain javac.

His problem is not the CLASSPATH. He has to set his PATH correctly. Your link talks about CLASSPATH

I could download your code and compile it successfully. Refer my screenshot for how to set the PATH variable.

^The error "Der Befel... blah blah..." reads the same as yours, but in German.

I am not sure about XP or Vista. I am using Windows 2000 (in office). Here, you can permanently modify your PATH to point to the Java installation\bin folder. All I do is go to Environment settings, Environment variables, and Edit the PATH variable. Must be something similar on XP / Vista.

yes, bandu is right .. in winxp, environmental variables has to be set,
right click my computer-->properties--> advanced tab --->environment variables button @ the bottom. --> in tat edit the 'path' in system variables. i.e just add the location of the /bin folder of your java folder after a semicolon of watever is there. ..
