I m trying to learn Java by myself-self taught ( Is it a good idea?, thats a another question). when i try to compile, there is error 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
But there is a folder in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.50_01\
I wonder is Java installed in my pc, why i am unable to compile it. I even tried it with textpad, there is no clue what so ever. Is self learning is not a good idea, because i could not faigure out this basic problem. Is there is any problem in Path or there is problem in class definition?
please help me to find a answer... Also guide me in learning Java through self learning.

I checked with Sun Java website they said like this
To write your first program, you'll need:
1. The Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) (Make sure you download the JDK, not the JRE)
2.Text Editor
Is JDK & JRE are different?, which one i need to compile to run the program?
