One step forward, and then stepped on a land mine

I've been trying to run a simple Java app that will compile a JasperReports report. However, when I try to run it, I keep getting err msgs. First, it was, "JasperCompileManager cannot be resolved". So I added jasperreports-4.1.2.jar to Eclipse's Project | Properties | Java Build Path. Similarly, I added commons-digester-1.7.jar, then commons-logging-1.0.4.jar, then commons-collections-2.1.1.jar, then commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar

But now I get the mother of all compilation err msgs:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException

 

: Error compiling report java source files : C:\EclipseJavaIndigo\JRSandbox\FirstReport_1316715202838_55800.java JRJavacCompiler.java:89)JRAbstractClassCompiler.java:63)JRAbstractCompiler.java:188)JasperCompileManager.java:212)JasperCompileManager.java:128)JasperCompileManager.java:87)JRSandbox.java:28)java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "javac": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specifiedJRJavacCompiler.java:58)java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specifiedNative Method)

What the deuce!?!
