I'm learning Java programming in COSC 1336. Does anyone know where you can download javac compiler for free? I heard at my university that javac compiler is free to download somewhere on the web.

Hope these links are of some use to you :)

The best place to get the Java compiler is directly from Sun. Their website is http://java.sun.com although I assume you'd probably want to use an IDE for your computer science work. I use eclipse ( http://www.eclipse.org/ ) as it is my favorite IDE. You could also try Netbeans or JCreator, but I have little experience with these two applications so I couldn't help you if you had any problems. If you get an IDE, I'm fairly sure that it will install the javac compiler for you, but I could be wrong.

If you're on a Mac, the best IDE you can get for Java is Eclipse.

www.eclipse.org

If you're not on a Mac, the best you can get would be Metrowerk's Codewarrior Student Edition - be aware that the full version does NOT support Java.
