You need to add the javac and java commands to your execution path. You can do this as follows:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/[java-directory]/bin

export PATH

You will also want to set a JAVA_HOME environment variable as follows:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/[java-directory]

export JAVA_HOME

If you want this in your path permanently (instead of having to run this for each shell you open), then you need to put it in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file, then logout and log back in.
