That's why I make a symbolic link in /usr/bin -- the link needs to be in a place that is a default path, look at the list in result of Unix command "set" /usr/bin is appropriate. I also really like to put the j602 folder in ~/Applications I think that is the correct place for applications AND it makes it available to all users/accounts on the system. Another advantage of a symbolic link (I use ja for "production" and jb for "beta" version, when there is one) is that all users have nice access to jconsole via Terminal or #! scripts.
