Submitted by matt_wood87 on Wednesday, 10 December, 2008 - 18:52
hi guys

when i run jedit 4.3pre16 on ubuntu 8.10 linux, i get a warning

Warning: $JAVA_HOME environment variable not set! Consider setting it.
Attempting to locate java...
Found a virtual machine at: /usr/bin/java...

and then jedit loads.

how do i set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable, ie. which file do i edit, and what line of code do i add?

many thanks

Matt

Open ~/.bashrc.

Enter:
export JAVA_HOME="[replace with your path to the jdk]"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"


Save the file, and reboot. Smiling

thanks, for anyone else reading, in my case "[replace with your path to the jdk]" was just "/usr/".

In hind sight, if you're usin

In hind sight, if you're using the same JDK as Ubuntu installed, you don't need that second export (the "PATH" one). Sorry.

You need to modify your .bash

You need to modify your .bashrc script under your home directory.

In jEdit, open the .bashrc file under your home directory.

Add the lines above and save it.

Then reboot your machine.
