Asier Iturralde Sarasola commented on CB-7634:
----------------------------------------------
I have just updated from Cordova 3.5.1 to 3.6.3 using "sudo npm update -g
cordova" in Linux Mint 17 (like Ubuntu 14.04) and now I get this error when I
try to run "cordova platform update android".
I added this line to my bashrc file and now it works:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
Is it correct that way? Is there a better way?
> create should not fail when JAVA_HOME is not set

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, CLI
> Affects Versions: 3.6.3
> Reporter: Ryan Willoughby
> Assignee: Andrew Grieve
> Labels: android, cli, create
>
> the android create script errors out if JAVA_HOME is not set, and the script
> cannot derive it. But if the javac binary is resolvable (i.e. in the users
> PATH), then setting JAVA_HOME is unnecessary. Don't force users to set it.
> Error message:
> Could not find JAVA_HOME. Try setting the environment variable manually
