How to set Temporary and Permanent Paths in Java

If the Java source file is inside the jdk/bin folder,path is not required to be set because the tools like javac,java are inside the current folder.
But if the java source file is outside the jdk/bin folder,path is required to be set in order to execute java source file.
There are two ways to set java path:
