The path to your JDK = JAVA_HOME is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32 . You have to add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to PATH.

These lines could be part of your shell script:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32
set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

Although you can set these variables from a script, on Windows the normal way is to set them machine-wide.

Right-click on your computer icon in explorer. Select "Properties", then "Advanced System Settings", then "Environment Variables".

Add a variable with the name JAVA_HOME and the value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32

Find the PATH variable and append ;%JAVA_HOME\bin (including the semicolon) to it.

More detailed instructions on setting path and environment variables on Windows are available here http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
