Re: [newbie] Path Variable

[Stefano Pogliani]

I created a file called java.sh in /etc/profile.d/ which contains the following lines:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

/stefano

Two ways, either edit your ~/.bash_profile (for an individual user), or your /etc/profile (for system wide) to include the path to the java executable in your PATH statement 

for example
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/lib/jre-1.4.0_01/bin

Next time you open a shell the path will be found.


The other way is to create a symlink in your /usr/bin directory like this 
ln -s /usr/lib/jre-1.4.0_01/bin /usr/bin/java
