Installing J2SE 1.4.2 SDK
Hi there,
I just installed J2SE 1.4.2 SDK. I can set the path for javac from the command line but every time I restart my computer I have to set it again.
Could you tell me how to set it permanently?
I am using Windows XP home.
Thanks,
Paul

Where? I want to do it so I don't have to type this every time. I did this when I installed perl but can not remember how. There is somewhere that you can add it.
See the link i posted. You only need to do this once

The link you posted does not say how to add the ones for Java. I have since done this using another guide. If anyone actually says how to do it I will give top marks. Otherwise I am splitting the marks with the worst grade and posting the link I found.

The link i posted is *exactly* what you need, namely adding to the PATH variable so that javac can be used

Mine is now:
C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell;E:\JDK1.5.0\BIN;D:\J
and JOOP is me.
C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell;E:\JDK1.5.0\BIN;D:\J
and JOOP is me.
Of course you must replace E:\JDK1.5.0 by the path where you installed JAVA ....

CEHJ, My mistake I misunderstood your second post. I will give you the marks. However I recommend people look at http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~teliot/Path_and_Classpath.htm it is very easy to follow.
sciuriware, sorry CEHJ got it first.

See point 5. at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-windows.html
If you find the thing about JAVA_HOME confuses you, just forget that for the moment and add to the PATH directly

Yes, that's OK, although i'm surprised that autoexec.bat is run by default on XP, as is implied there
