Javac.exe question

[Edward H. Fabrega]

I just downloaded J2SE 1.4.2_04, installed it, and it doesn't have javac.exe
in the bin. Doesn't javac come with the SDK anymore? The previous version on
my computer is 1.4.0 and it doesn't have javac either. How am I supposed to
compile java programs? I've got a WINTEL machine with XP Pro if that makes a
difference. This is probably a stupid question, right? TIA

The SDK should include javac.
Are you sure you haven't just downloaded the JRE instead?
