javac is not recognized as an internal or external command in windows 7

I have set JAVA_HOME and PATH variable.

JAVA_HOME looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60

PATH looks like this:

    %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;

    "C:\Program Files\nodejs\" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\command";C:\mongodb\bin;"C:\Program Files\cURL\bin" ;C:\Python34\python.exe; 

"%JAVA_HOME%/bin" ;

Yet it can not find any of the java commands like javac or java,

User Path variable:

 C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\; C:\Users\dev4\AppData\Roaming\npm; C:\mongodb\bin; " %JAVA_HOME%\bin\" ; "%ANT_HOME%\bin\" ;

System path variable:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\Program Files\nodejs\ ; C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\command;C:\mongodb\bin;C:\Program Files\cURL\bin ;C:\Python34\python.exe; %JAVA_HOME%\bin\;

Despite npm command is not working either.

These have been working before but since I was trying to set path for java , al of them have stopped working

Don't do what I did and sit there wondering for an hour why the path isn't changing in your windows.

Change the Variable...

THEN RESTART YOUR PC

An hour I will never get back lost to not doing the first thing you should try.

In my system, User variable path is as below

C:\apache-ant-1.9.5\bin;E:\Android\platform-tools;E:\Android\tools;C:\Users\M\AppData\Roaming\npm

And my system path variable is

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs\

JAVA_HOME is

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45

Hope this helps.
