If you are on a Windows system, open up a shell and type "java -version"

my bad. People with Java either have SDK (development kit - compiler for Java programmers) or RE (runtime environment - for Java users). Either way, Java is installed into something like "c:\program files\Java\j2re1.4.0" or "c:\j2sdk1.4.0". there is a sub-directory called "/bin", which is where "java.exe" is located. Change into that "bin" directory and then type "java -version". Usually, programmers have that Java directory placed in a PATH statement so he can compile and run Java programs from anywhere in the system from a shell.

Doesn't work if you're not using MS java, because it's no longer available. I'm using Sun, which is version 1.42
Most people are NOT going to find "java.exe" anywhere on their hard drives. |

ok, but I would think Java would refer to Sun Java. MS is really JVM or java virtual machine, otherwise that lawsuit would've been even nastier. And no the above doesn't apply to MS, only works with Sun.
