missing Javac.exe

I uninstalled all java and installed jdk 1.4.2_04. Oddly it did not
place copies of javac.exe and java.exe on the path in the C:\winnt
tree like it used to. Has Sun changed the way they handle this?
Are you supposed to put the bin dir on the path now to control which
java you get?

I assume you mean javaw.exe, not javac.exe; the latter is only
installed under the JDK directory. Anyway, I did the same uninstall
and install process on my WinXP system, and the correct versions of
java.exe and javaw.exe are present in the usual place, i.e.,
C:\Windows\system32.

I thought it handles Javac that way too. I guess I must have always
been selecting javac.exe with the path.
