javah is not a recognized as an internal or external command

Question

I tried to fix this by executing in my cmd: "path=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_65\\bin"

I'm working on windows. Is this wrong? I've been stuck for awhile so any help would much appreciated.

Answer 1

javah is removed in the latest JDK.

Before JDK 8, you need to compile the Java program using javac and generate C/C++ header using a dedicated javah utility. The javah utility is no longer available in JDK 10.

For those who are using the latest JDK, the javac -h command will compile and create a header file.

Answer 2

javah is under <JAVA_HOME>/bin folder, you have to ensure that you have that folder on your path

you can do something like (on unix system)

export PATH=<JAVA_HOME>/bin:$PATH

or follow this for windows
