1. Set your JAVA_HOME to the directory where the JDK is installed.

   set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_12"

2. Set your PATH to include the bin directory in JAVA_HOME.

   set PATH=%PATH%:%JAVA_HOME%\bin

3. Change to the root directory of your source code. If you have declared your code to be in packages, this is the root directory of your package structure. If not, this is the directory that contains your .java files:

   cd c:\My\Source\Directory

4. Execute javac with your Java files as the argument:

   javac Class1.java Class2.java

   java Main
