Where are the PATH variables stored in?

Hi,
Dear when I issue the following command at shell:
echo $PATH
All the user variables are displayed on the console terminal window:
Now my question is that, In which file these variables are stored and where is it stored?
My Problem: I had installed OpenJDK that came with Fedora-12. Now I have uninstalled it. I want to use SunJDK6. After installation I want to set new JVM in path variables. I can set variables, but before doing so I want to remove some old variables.

Thanks in advance

In redhat

Code:

/etc/bashrc
/etc/profile
~/.bash_profile

debina

Code:

/etc/profile

Hi,

And an addition to sem007's answer: /etc/profile.d/extrapaths.sh could also be used depending on your distro.
