What are correct compile parameters for Java work

[frozenrun]

No matter what I try I cannot get textpad to compile my java files. Odd thing is I could do this yesterday but after working in Eclipse I cannot compile anything in textpad now. I did not change anything though. parameters I had used successfully were $File or $BaseName.

I did notice if I put my java file in the directory where the javac.exe is (i.e C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin) then text compiling will work. But his would require place all my java files in this bin directory and I don't want to do this.

Seems I need to add a classpath variable but when I try adding one it does not help. Anybody now if something else needs done to get a classpath environment variable to work? I'm running Win 7, 64 bit.

Here is the error message which I've seen some other posts on this site about the issue but no answers that help me situation.
