How to set JAVA_HOME for maven?

Hello!

I have just reinstalled my computer to Ubuntu.
I have also installed maven 3.0.3..

I set JAVA_HOME in my .bashrc like:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
export JAVA_HOME

If I print it out with printenv I get:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk

But If I run mvn --version I get:

mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100)
Maven home: /home/fredrik/Applications/apache-maven-3.0.3
Java version: 1.6.0_23, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
*Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre*
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.0.0-14-generic", arch: "i386", family: "unix"


As you can see it points to the JRE, and I guess that is not right.
(I got the same when I did not set any JAVA_HOME also)

What do you think guys?

Best regards
Fredrik

Hello Guys!

Thanks for your replies!

I installed jdk 1.7

and reset the JAVA_HOME to that folder.

The output of mvn --version now give:
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100)
Maven home: /home/fredrik/Applications/apache-maven-3.0.3
Java version: 1.7.0_02, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /home/fredrik/Applications/jdk1.7.0_02/*jre*
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.0.0-14-generic", arch: "i386", family: "unix"

As I see it seems like maven adds the *jre*

Best regards
Fredrik

This is normal.

Don't set JAVA_HOME yourself. I don't know Ubuntu, but I guess it sets this 
variable on its own as other Linux systems (as mine) do anyway.

Hi Fredrik,

Did you restart your computer or run the command, ". ~/.bashrc"?

If so, it's hardly possible. Remember to check there is no JAVA_HOME in
.bash_profile. Or show the content of .bashrc and .bash_profile in the
mail.

I still recommend you, use the standard JDK rather than openJdk.

By the way, Fedora 16 is very cool.


Thanks,
Diego
