If it worked in Eclipse then you do have the command line one. Open up your command line and type in "java" to see if it's there. It should report that you didn't give it a file to run with, which would be true, but it verifies that it's there.

I know I have my JAVA_PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables set, but it shouldn't be that hard to set an environment variable. Also your $PATH variable will have to point to where the JVM is or to a symlink of it. It's not that hard to get everything set up, really. What OS are you on?

If you were able to run it with Eclipse, you have it. You will still need some sort of editor to write your programs, however.
