Where is javac.

Ok, so I want to learn some java and I run to the library and grab "The
Complete Reference, Java 2 Fifth Edition" from Osborne, copyright 2002.
Ok, its a little old. I get to the code for my first Java Program,
type it up in notepad and then the books wants me to do:

javac example.java

Windows complains it doesn't have a javac. So off to Sun I go for the
latest Java stuff like j2sdk-1_4_2_11 and jdk-1_5_0_07 and install
that. Still no javac. Has things changed since 2002 and javac is no
longer used? Where is javac?

Thanks
the ultimate novice :)
