(Preface: I'm very much a newbie with Java.) Where do I find and how do I install javac.exe for WinXP? Kevin Vandever has an article in IT Jungle's Midrange Programmer titled "*Calling PC Commands from RPG*" (http://www.itjungle.com/mpo/mpo091202-story05.html) that talks about using a java program, compiled with javac on the PC command line. The instructions in the .java source say: // To Compile: // From a PC command line (must have JDK 1.1.8 or higher) // javac CommandServerJDQ.java -deprecation I searched for "javac" on my PC and came up with no executables. I used iSeries Navigator to see if I could find something there, but came up only with (Root)\usr\bin\ folder having a file named javac. The file properties shows 0 bytes for the data size. I searched the archives, but nothing helps. We are on V5R2 and have the Toolbox for Java, Developer Kit for Java, Java Developer Kits 1.2, 1.1.8, 1.3, & 1.4 installed. On my XP Pro, I have Sun's Java 1.5 (Java Control Panel shows "Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_04-b05)") The README.txt in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04 contains a reference to JAVAC in the JDK: - The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files: <snip> bin/javac.exe [Microsoft Windows] lib/tools.jar [All platforms] TIA, Dan
