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.

NAME

       profile - setting up an environment for user at login time

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/profile

       $HOME/.profile

DESCRIPTION

       All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.

       /etc/profile  allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
       of system  news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not  unusual  for  /etc/profile  to  execute  special
       actions for the root login or the su command.

       The  file  $HOME/.profile  is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
       (except for the comments):

              # Make some environment variables global
              export MAIL PATH TERM
              # Set file creation mask
              umask 022
              # Tell me when new mail comes in
              MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
              # Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
              PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
              # Set terminal type
              TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
              while :
              do
                      if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
                   then break
                      elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
                   then break
                   else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
                   fi
                   echo "terminal: c"
                   read TERM
              done
              # Initialize the terminal and set tabs
              # Set the erase character to backspace
              stty erase '^H' echoe

NOTES

       Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better  for  serving  all  but  the  most
       global needs.
