compiling corba .idl file error

Question

So im in the directory of the .idl file and I want to compile the gridDemo file, So I type idlj gridDemo.idl and I get the error that idlj is not a recognized as an internal or external command

What am I doing wrong ?

Yes Im running windows

I have installed the java sdk,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

Is this the path I put into the system variable path?

SOLVED I was using the wrong file. it should have been the jdk not jre folder.

Thanks very much :)

Please check the file idlj.exe under JDK directory(found it in jdk 1.4 and later),

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\ and ,

add it to path under environment variables :

%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\

Update the PATH environmental variable to include the location of the idlj.exe executable

%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin
