Hi,
I tried a simple "hello world" java app in Geany but can't get out of the starting gate. When compiling I get the error in my thread title: So, it seems the shell can't find the path to the java compiler (?). I'm guessing this is something that can be added to my environment variables but I'm a little hazy on this. The last time I did this I was working with Windows. If someone has a simple fix I would be appreciative - otherwise please don't spend a lot of time here as I'm sure I'll find something on Google sooner or later.

Cheers.

Did you install the jdk package?
EDIT: After installing it please log out and in again.

Thanks, Thenktor. Spot on!

Cheers.

You may tell Geany to run "gcj -C" instead of "javac". Just install gcc-java, and you'll save 100+ Mb of disk space.
