Java setup

[joey o.]

Hi,
I'm a very nu-be and need some help. On my home machine(Win98)I had no problem setting up and compiling.On my work Win NT machine(trying to learn during lunch)I can find the java version (2.2.2) in dos but when trying to compile it doesn't seem to recognize anything. I don't know a lot about pathing in dos on NT and think this may be the problem. Can someone lend a hand for a new guy?
Thanks,
Joey O.

This might seem like a stupid question but at work you have the JDK installed right? I'm not very sure about how paths work in DOS in NT either.

Same as at home, It installed itself.

Actually, I had a slightly different experience, where the java sdk would not work properly on my 98 box, but worked perfectly on NT. For NT, you need to set your path and classpath statements, if they weren't already. I'm using Symantec's Visual Cafe, but the idea will be the same for Sun's sdk. Good luck.

My path statement:
%path%;e:\VisualCafe\Bin;e:\VisualCafe\Java2\Bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared

My classpath statement:
.;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\SYMCLASS.ZIP;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\CLASSES.ZIP;e:\V isualCafe\Java\Lib\COLLECTIONS.ZIP;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\ICEBROWSERBEAN.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\ JSDK.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\SYMTOOLS.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\JFC\SWINGALL.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Bin\Compon ents\SFC.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Bin\Components\SYMBEANS.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\DBAW.ZIP;e:\VisualCafe \Bin\Components\DBAW_AWT.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Bin\Components\Databind.JAR;e:\VisualCafe\Java\Lib\Olite3 5.jar;
