JRE != JDK. What you want to get is the JDK (preferably a newer one, say
1.5 or 1.6)

The error you a giving is not very helpful -- it looks like you are
trying to say java java.lang which has several problems in its own right
that I am not going to address.

Several things wrong with this:
1. You seem to be building inside the Java file, which is not a very
good idea. Ideally your classpath should be somewhere else, like in a
{home dir}\Java\Project.
2. The path seems to be off...

Finally, this isn't a Java virtual machine problem; this is a Java
configuration problem. Therefore, I am X-posting to c.l.j.h with
follow-up set to c.l.j.h.
