I am new to Java. Just got “Murachs Java SE 6” yesterday.
The first chapter has you set the command path and I understand how to set the path. I don’t understand how to find my path.
Actually it doesn’t really say much about where to look for it or what I am supposed to set so I am a little confused. I understand the concept I just don’t understand what exactly its looking for.
Its the PATH environment variable for your shell. Its not specific to Java. You can print it by typing
echo %PATH%in DOS orecho $PATHin a unix shell.
