I used sudo apt-get open-jdk7
to install Java on my Ubuntu OS.
When I open a terminal and type echo $JRE_HOME
it displays nothing. But then I do java -version
it shows me correct version of OpenJDK. Also when I simply type java
it works.
Not sure how Ubuntu set the path of java.
Similarly javac
works but I don't see anything when I say echo $JAVA_HOME
.
My path does not show java directory path in it.
Where is Ubuntu setting the java path? Why does Ubuntu not set JAVA_HOME
and JRE_HOME
during installation of OpenJDK?
