I am running MCE XP and am having a very difficult time setting
environment variables. Is javac used anymore for the java compiler or jar
used for jar files anymore? I am also setting up ant to build a tomcat
server from source. I have added to path the path name of my jdk and I can
run java from any folder. Any hints on settings for ant and tomcat?

You should set JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME env vars and have JDK bin
dir in PATH.

javac and jar are still current.

I can't by reading the tutorial see how to do that.

I can run java from any location from the DOS box. However javac and jar
do not work.

On Windows you set them in:
control panel
system
advanced
environment

Be very carefully not to delete anything existing!

If you have installed JDK, then that indicates that you have
not Java bin dir in PATH.

Its basic operating system stuff. See your XP documentation or use a
search engine for XP and search part or environment variable.

Fix your search path.
