Unable to locate an executable at "/usr/bin/java/bin/java" (-1)

Most certainly, export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java is the culprit. This env var should point to the JDK or JRE installation directory. Googling shows that the best option for MacOS X seems to be export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home.

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Because:

 $ find /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home -name java*
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javadoc
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javafxpackager
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javah
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javap
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javapackager
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/javafx-src.zip
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java

JAVA_HOME is not the name of the java executable. But of the directory, java was installed in. The executable should be $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.

The which command is not helpful for you there. It will not give you the java home, but most likely this is just a wrapper or symlink to java installed in a very different directory.

i have experienced the same problem, and after reading this post i have double checked the JAVA_HOME definition in .bash_profile. It is actually:

export JAVA_HOME=$(which java)

that, exactly as Anony-Mousse is explaining, is the executable. Changing it to:

export=/Library/Java/Home

fixes the problem, tho is still interesting to understand why it's valued in that way in the profile file.
