How to set JAVA_HOME in REDHAT 9.0 Linux?
 

I was trying to set JAVA_HOME in profile file, but unable to decide where to put the java_home path. Can anyone guide me?

J2sdk and JRE are in /USR/JAVA

tejpatil,

As root, put it in /etc/profile.

...Was that what you asked? So if you have e.g. J2RE installed in /usr/java, then that's your path. set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java.

Hi,

I did that, but I cannot execute java command from root.



profile file changes:
####################################################
#JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0
###################################################


export JAVA_HOME


---------------------------------------------
I did check the profile attributes it look like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1009 May 22 23:46 profile

Is this correct.

If you want to execute commands in $JAVA_HOME/bin, you'll need to add it to your PATH as well, e.g.:

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

You can also just type the full path name of the command.

Thanks. It worked.
