Where is javac in Windows 8?
I have an HP i3 laptop running Windows 8. Where is the javac compiler located? I have another HP i5 laptop running Windows 7 64-bit and in that laptop I can find javac in the program files folder. Why can't I find javac on my Windows 8 laptop? Please help. Thank you.

I have the same Java files in Program Files (x86) on my Windows 7 Pro machine as on my Windows 8 Pro machine. I install just the run time environment and not the software development kit.
Did you install Java SDK in Windows 7 and not Windows 8?
Did you install Java on Windows 8? It does not come built in the way Flash does.

It doesn't look like it's actually installed. I searched for open-jdk and oracle jdk but couldn't find them.
I'm bit surprised that it's not installed in newer machine. What exactly should I install to compile and run simple Java Programs ?
We didn't install anything in Windows 7? Java runtime environment was already there.
What is "Flash" ?

What comes (if it was installed) is the Java Run Time only. I do not usually see JDK pre installed. So if you want JDK you need to get it from the Java site an install it.
Flash is from Adobe and on Windows 8 it is a special version pre installed. I used this just as an analogy and I did not mean to confuse the issue.

We need to compile and run beginning Java programs. Do we need Java Run Time or JDK ?
If we need Java Run Time then, above link probably won't work for us because it says "jdk7" ?

You need the Java Development kit to compile Java code. When you compile it, you need to compile it so that users can run the code with Java Run Time.
Why doesn't the link work for you? JDK V7 is current, JDK V8 appears to be on the way. I started at http://java.sun.com and land pretty much at the link posted by seth2740.

I didn't try the above link yet. The above link will give me JDK V7. What about Java Run Time ?
How do I acquire Java Run Time ?
Thank you!

The Oracle page below has JDK and JRE (Run Time), all a subset of Java Standard Edition,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
What I downloaded and run on my computers (and clients) is:
jre-7u25-windows-i586.exe
That is the 32-bit Standard Java Run Time that "all of us" run so our computer will execute Java code as needed.
JRE does not include JAVAC and you cannot compile with it.

I'm still bit confused! What do I need to install in order to compile and run simple Java Programs?

Thank you!
@naseeam - Thanks. I was happy to help and good luck going forward with Java compiling. There are lots of experts here in programming, so come back and post a new question anytime.

Java
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

if it's not there then it's not installed and you need to install it
