Error in setting up Sublime text 3 to run and compile java on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Question

I am new to Sublime Text 3 and I want to run and compile java code on Sublime Text 3. However, I am getting this weird error:

/bin/bash: javac: command not found [Finished in 0.0s with exit code 127]

and my file in /home/***/Downloads/sublime_text_3/Packages/Java.sublime-package/JavaC.sublime-build looks like :

{
   "shell_cmd": "javac \"$file\" && java \"$file_base_name\"",
   "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
   "selector": "source.java",
}

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit
sublime version: Sublime Text 3.0 build 3143

any suggestions are welcome.

this is not the weird error it's trying to say that java is not installed or may be java is not set in your current path — Lokesh Pandey, Dec 16 '17 at 10:05

This error says that you have no javac installed (which actually is a part of JDK). By default Ubuntu is not bundled with JDK. So you have to install it manually:

$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk

You can verify that javac is present:

$ which javac
/usr/bin/javac

If you see the path to you java compiler everything should work.
