title: java 'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command
body: <p>I'm getting the following error when I try to run the 'jar' command in the command line on windows  :
   'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command</p>
  
  <p>The general solution seems to be that I need to add the jdk bin folder to the PATH in environment variables. I have already done this, I added the following to the path variable :
  ...; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin\; </p>
  
  <p>Though I'm not sure if having the jdk reside in 'program files' instead of 'program files x86' affects this. I'm on 64 bit windows with 64 bit java.
  Thanks</p>
