TIP: The tool "Rapid Environment Editor" freeware is great for modifying the environment variables and useful in that case. Then select the Path system variable and click Edit Once you are done with above changes, try below steps.

If you don't see similar results, restart the computer and try again. If it still doesn't work you may need to reinstall JDK. If you leave it unset, Java will look in the current directory to find classes. You can use the -cp or -classpath command line switch with java or javac.

Step 6: Put the path of your JDK wherever it resides up to bin like you can see in the picture. Also add path from your sdk of Android up to the Platform Tools:.

Which environment variables? Please elaborate — Wernsey. I am alone in thinking it's too lame that the java installer doesn't update the path environment variable automatically? ThomasEyde - only problem with that idea is what if I want multiple JVMs on my machine - auto setting the path would then cause problems.
