    • If an entry for java.sh does not already exist in /etc/profile.d/java.sh then you will need to create one;  sudo vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh
      In this file put the following line:
      export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/current
      If the file already exists be sure it has the above entry.
    • Once you open a new shell or login you will be able to test this configuration:
      echo $JAVA_HOME should return /opt/java/<the directory you installed>  -  and running java -version should return the version of Java you have installed.

NOTE: If you have installed java/components you may need to redirect the installed links (e.g. /etc/alternatives/java...) to point to /opt/java/current.
