java -version cannot be recognized, while PATH and JAVA_HOME are both set, windows 8

I am using windows 8, and have tried to set JAVA_HOME as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05 And PATH as %JAVA_HOME%\bin When I reopen the console, PATH still gives me: PATH = C:\Program Files .....; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin When I do cd %JAVA_HOME%, it guides me to the java directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05

but when I open another new console and type java -version javac or 'jar', it reports error of "java/javac/jar" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file....

So are there anything else that I didn't do? Isn't PATH clear enough to give the path to find "java"?

THanks!

Try setting the PATH and JAVA_HOME system environment variables.

The bin dir of your JAVA_HOME directory needs to be on your path. Try

    echo %PATH%

to confirm whether or not this is the case.
