The locate command doesn't rewrite anything - it just tells you where xxx is located.
Try doing updatedb, followed by locate xxx to see where it is (like, /usr/local/bin or /usr/sbin or whatever the path is) and maybe at that location to yoru $PATH if it isn't already there.

did you add a PATH= pointing to the location of your java install? did you install as root or as a user? did you install to the standard location?

I mean, do you have a section in your PATH= that reads '/home/xxxxx/path/to/javac/'?

i did this in .bash_profile
PATH = $PATH:/usr/java/j2ske1.4.2-06/bin/javac
export PATH
i found the path by typing locate javac in terminal.
but still i get this error:
bash: javac : command not found

export PATH
Just at first glance (although it may not be the fix): your PATH statement should only point to the directories in which executables reside, not to the executables themselves; try this instead:
PATH = $PATH:/usr/java/j2ske1.4.2-06/bin:
export PATH
You may also have to export other environment variables besides PATH, such as CLASSPATH- more info and suggestions can be found in the results of this G4L search:
