If you see there ,you have installed Java Run time Environment which is actually needed to run Java based software in your system.

for example If you place java filename then it will execute that particular java file.

but javac belongs JDK which stands for Java development Kit , which you need If you would like to do programming on Java.

To get install Java for programming you can install openjdk-7-jdk with 

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
