I already recovered the changes, but I can not delete the swap file.
I tried this ff. commands with no effect:

rm /etc/.profile.swp/

rm /etc/.profile.swp/swapfile

swap -d /etc/.profile.swp

Can you tell me how can I delete the swap files?

You need to be root to edit anything outside your user's home directory so you'll need to su to root first. The rm command should do to remove the swap file.

I already delete them. Thank God.
Anyway, what is the proper way to set JAVA_HOME to the location of jdk?

jdk was located here:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun

As jay73 said, just add this line:

Code:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun

at the end of /etc/profile
