Hey all,

This is possibly a stupid question, but is there an easy/quick way to set my JAVA_HOME system variable so that it will apply system wide, all the time? I've downloaded and installed the 1.8.0_11 JDK and want this as the variable, but can't seem to figure out how to set it as the variable across sessions.

Cheers.

export JAVA_HOME=whatever

&

setenv JAVA_HOME whatever

Presume there's something similar in Ubuntu?

Yes ubuntu is very similar and what you suggest should work ... there are other possibilities too - OP see these Ubuntu Docs for full details.
