Setting JAVA_HOME on a CentOS box

This will help set the variable JAVA_HOME so you may use java and maven correctly.

Requirements:
  • Root account
1) Edit your bash_profile via
vi /root/.bash_profile

2) Add the following line (based on the path of your jdk)
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_21
(Just add it where the other "export" lines are)

3) Logout of the console/session. Re-log in. You need to do this to reset bash. Sometimes typing "bash" will suffice.

4) Type this command to test
echo $JAVA_HOME
