Having trouble running javac from command line

Question

I am trying to compile java files using either the command prompt or Git-Bash (running Windows 7) but I am having no luck. I've researched this and followed the simple steps of checking the version of Java I have by running:

java -version

from the command line and I get "1.8.0_102".

So I went to my PATH variable and appended:

;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin

I have checked what seems like a thousand times and this is the proper directory, but when I run

javac

from the command line, I still get the error

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Can anyone huide me in the right direction?

and add %JAVA_HOME%\\bin; to your CLASSPATH variable

Then restart the command line and try

Answer 2

Program Files
