javac is NOT in your path so use

Code:

root@solaris:/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin# ./javac HelloWorld.java

Place in your login directory [ .profile ] or in /etc/profile if all users need javac:

Code:

#below any PATH defining statements
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.7.0/bin
export PATH

I wrote the export on another line deliberately. This is Solaris so we use Borune syntax in case this is placed in /etc/profile

Comment:
Under no circumstances should you be running around on the system as the root user. It is dangerous, plus you seem to be new with what you are doing. Two reasons to create an unprivileged user and play with that.

You do have really frequent backups, right? An you enjoy re-installing your system?
Both will be needed if you keep on "root"-ing around.
