I'm trying to run java programs using portable Geany, but it cannot compile because it looks like there is no javac under the bin folder.
Isn't it suppossed to be there?

jPortable is a Java Runtime Environment. So, it includes exactly what's in the Oracle JRE when you install it locally. If you want to develop, you need a Java Development Kit, which we don't yet officially offer. We will shortly have the Oracle JDK and OpenJDK, though.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Ok, I see.
Thanx a lot John.
