  <p>So im in the directory of the .idl file and I want to compile the gridDemo file, So I type idlj gridDemo.idl and I get the error that idlj is not a recognized as an internal or external command</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong ?</p>
  
  <p>Yes Im running windows</p>
  
  <p>I have installed the java sdk, </p>
  
  <p>C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin</p>
  
  <p>Is this the path I put into the system variable path?</p>
  
  <p>SOLVED I was using the wrong file. it should have been the jdk not jre folder.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much :)</p>
