Filip,
The behaviour you are seeing is correct. This is how all the JDKs from 1.2
and beyond seem to behave. Not sure if that is universal. I don't know how
the IBM JDKs work here or the JDK on MaxOS. Anyway, I would solve your
problem by not specifiying the full path to javac when you invoke exec. If
it is on your path it should be found.
