I'm a real newbie and only got linux yesterday but I'm trying to write and compile some java in Kate. Oh by the way i m running fedora. When i try to run the javac or java commands they are not found...i downloaded and installed j2sdk and j2re and they are both in my usr/java folder but when using Kate they are not found how do i tell Kate how to find them?

Well... kate is only a text editor so after saving something you should have a filename called x.java

Now... in a terminal, you could try doing:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/
javac x.java

Now that is supposing the binaries are in the /usr/java/ folder...

Default is /usr/local/j2.../bin/ I think.
