Javac is the utility for compiling java applications. When compiling a java program from command line, the most common issue people get into is “Javac is not recognized as internal or external command’. Let’s see how we can fix this issue.
“Javac is not recognized as an internal or external command” is an error often encountered by people trying to compile Java programs on Windows using Command Prompt. It’s might also be encountered when users try to check the current version of the primary Java compiler.
The “Javac is not recognized as an internal or external command” error is encountered when the Command Prompt is unable to find the Java PATH variable. This can happen for two reasons:
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is missing from the machine – This typically happens because the user mistakenly assumes that the Java Compiler (javac) is installed along with the Java Runtime Environment.
The path to Javac is not set or is incorrectly set – In order to compile from Command Prompt and to make sure that other app server tools function properly, the system needs to be aware of the location of Javac. If this is the case, you will need to set the path manually.
