I uninstalled jdk 1.4 because I have 1.5. I didn't see a need in keeping 1.4 but now I wish I had of because I am getting the error "javac is not recognized as a blah blah blah". The environment variables are the same as they were before, So why is this not working now?
What about your PATH variable? Does it point to the new JDK? By default, 1.5 will install itself into a differnt directory (jdk-1.5.0 if I'm not mistaken) than 1.4 (where the latest version went into jdk-1.4.2). Thus, if your environment variables truly are exactly the same as before, it obviously won't work.
I'm so stupid. I didn't even think about that.
OK. I reset it to the new directory and it's not working. I'll give my enviro variables and maybe you can help:
Classpath: .;%classpath%.;.;C\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\lib\tools.jar
Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0
Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin
Thanks. I can't believe I left something off that obvious!
