Eclipse and java 7 but no javac?

I have a java computer program that I can compile in Eclipse just fine. I want to compile it from the command line and get the message javac not found. I figured that I just didn't have my path setup right, but then I did a locate javac and I only get:

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/javac

/usr/share/vim/vim74/compiler/javac.vim

/usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/javacc.vim

and it does not exist in

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/

In Eclipse, it looks like it is using this JDK, so I am not sure how to account for how Eclipse compiles. Am I missing something silly? Thanks.

It looks like my default install came with some weird version of Java - not the OpenJDK but even another version. I did an aptitude install to get the openjdk-7 and then everything worked fine.

I was confused because Eclipse compiled without a javac on the system, but I guess Eclipse has some tools inside that allow it to compile.
