How to set JAVA_HOME in Linux for all users
java, java-home, linux, path-variables
Solution
- `find /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.x.x-openjdk`
`vim /etc/profile`
Prepend sudo if logged in as not-privileged user, ie. `sudo vim`
- Press 'i' to get in insert mode
add:
export JAVA_HOME="path that you found"
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
- logout and login again, reboot, or use `source /etc/profile` to apply changes immediately in your current shell
Problem
I am new to Linux system and there seem to be too many Java folders. java -version gives me: - java version "1.7.0_55" - OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.4.7.1.el6_5-x86_64 u55-b13) - OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode) When I am trying to build a Maven project , I am getting error: ``` Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05/bin/java ``` Could you please tell me which files I need to modify for root as well as not-root user and where exactly is java located?
