3. Set Environment Variables
If you only use Eclipse or NetBeans, you do not need to set environment variables because it will automatically detect the java path in the system. However, if some software cannot automatically detect the path, you need to set environment variables, such as Tomcat.

# If you want the setting to be valid for all users, edit the file/etc/profilevim/etc/profile # or edit the file if you want the setting to be valid only for the current user ~ /. Bash_profilevim ~ /. Bash_profile

Add the following content at the end of the edited File

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_22"export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:/lib.dt.jarexport PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Save the file after editing, and enter the following command to make the settings take effect.

Source/etc/profile # or source ~ /. Bash_profile
