Hi. pse help me i want to find the folder (development) after installing the java/jdk but i have failed to see it
Hai steve,
sorry for not following you up quickly, struck up with work a bit.
first download JRE from here(i am choosing JRE 7)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jre-7-download-432155.html
and install JdK 1.7
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/downloads/java-ee-7-sdk-with-jdk-u45-2066865.html
and check your c:\program files\java or c:\program files(x86)\java
there you will find jdk 1.7 and jre7 folders
now follow above steps.
hope this helps, comment here if you have any queries.
