I put the line:
in my
~/.bashrcfile./usr/lib/jvm/java7-oracleshould be a symbolic link pointing to/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle-[version number here].The reason it’s a symbolic link is that in case there’s a new version of the JVM, you don’t need to update your
.bashrcfile, it should automatically point to the new version.If you want to set
JAVA_HOMEenvironment variables globally and at system level means use should set in/etc/environmentfile.
