  • 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable

    From Peter Percival@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 11 22:06:39 2019
    I have just installed JDK version 12.0.2. How do I get Windows 10 to
    find the commands javac and java?

    For javac (et al.), make sure your PATH includes

    C:\Program Files\Java\jdkxxxx\bin

    where "xxxx" is the folder corresponding to the JDK version. (If you've installed to an unusual location you may need something other than "C:",
    and if you're using a 32-bit version -- does 12 still support 32-bit? --
    you'll need "Program Files (x86)".

    The kit ordinarily takes care of getting java itself onto your
    path -- but maybe it only does so if you enabled "Public JRE" during
    the installation. If you need to set it up manually (using the JRE's
    internal Java), add

    C:\Program Files\Java\jdkxxxx\jre\bin

    to the PATH (same adjustments as before).

    Good luck!

    yes, aye, you are correct that this is something of a flaw in the Java distribution.
