Compiler Error - 'Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.javac.Main'

Question

I just started learning Java and I installed JDK on my computer, but now I am trying the SIMPLIST of Java and its not compiling. I installed JDK on C:/Java/jdk7/

Answer 1

I faced the issue on JDK1.7_67.

I solved it by seperating JDK and JRE installations.

JDK installed in D:\Java\jdk1.7_67 with its own jre/lib folder and JRE installed at D:\Java\jre1.7_67 with its own lib folder.

This solved the tools.jar issue for me.
