    Type which java to find out which directory java is being picked up from. You probably need to correct your PATH. At the moment, you have /home/asimon/java/bin on your PATH, which must be an old version of java. You should update it to /home/asimon/java/jdk1.6.0_22/bin. The PATH variable would be present in $HOME/.profile.

    Also, note that if you execute ./java -version it will use the java executable present in the current working directory, instead of searching the PATH for it.
