How to set java home?
Can any one tell me, how to set java home in Ubuntu 12.10?
Open terminal by hitting Ctrl+Alt+T and execute following command:
gedit ~/.bashrc
Now go to end of file and add the following lines:
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk/folder
#usually /usr/java/jdk or /usr/lib/java/jdk
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Now in terminal type:
sudo source ~/.bashrc
This will make it appear on every terminal if open.
Now you can cross check it by typing following line in terminal
echo $PATH
It will show you path of your jdk at the end

Try This:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH
This should work, but make sure to change /usr/lib/jvm/java
with your java path.
Well that will be easy, just open terminal and do
-
For one user
gedit ~/.bash_profile
-
For all users
gedit /etc/profile
And just add line like this
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin
Just make sure that path is right. And if you did it for all users you will need to activate it using
sudo source /etc/profile

To set JAVA_HOME for all users do as Follows:

JAVA_HOME =":usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin"
CLASSPATH =":usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin:/home/something etc whatever you want etc"( separated by semicolon )
