Cannot seem to get Java working in my path
This is a discussion about Cannot seem to get Java working in my path in the Linux Customization Tweaking category; I have been having problems trying to get Java working in my path. If I cd to the Java directory and then run java <file> it will then start, but will complain about not having the proper class files for the application.
I have been having problems trying to get Java working in my path. If I cd to the Java directory and then run "java <file>" it will then start, but will complain about not having the proper class files for the application. I figured this was because the application (a Samba GUI app) was not being executed while I was in the directory, and I decided to append the Java dir to the end of my .bashrc. Well, it isn't working. Here is my .bashrc:
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java
The path ammendment does not work either from the command line or with this file adjustment. Anybody have an idea on how to correct this?

normally I would link /usr/local/j2r???/bin/java to /bin/java
ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/java /bin/java
your $PATH needs
$PATH:/usr/java/bin
ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/java /bin/java
your $PATH needs
$PATH:/usr/java/bin
