I've read many forums and threads in debian lists, but no solution worked to
me.

I've downloaded and unpacked to /opt the jdk1.5.0_12
I didn't used apt-get because I need this specific version.

Then, I need to set java environment variables globally
And include /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin to PATH

I inserted in /etc/bash.bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin

it works to all terminals, but don't to X11
for example: I can't start Azureus from menu link

Then I tried /etc/profile
but it didn't work either

thanks,

I have the following line in /etc/environment:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun

I've created /etc/environment file like this
JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_12"
export JAVA_HOME

PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
export PATH

The first time I started and logged into gdm, it failed.
Then I went to /etc/ and changed environment permissions.
Ok, I managed to log in, but PATH doesn't have /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin
I can't run a program that uses java from the menu link
Only if a open gnome-terminal with any user and call the program, it works.

I know its possible to make a "workaround" starting everything thought
terminal, but it's horrible!
Or go to "/usr/bin" and "ln -s ..." everything in JAVA_HOME/bin
but that is not the point, I MUST know how to set PATH variable because its
ridiculous. I no windows user.

Thanks,

Don't set the PATH this way. Specify the path list fully:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH JAVA_HOME

Find out your current PATH before and add :$JAVA_HOME/bin to the end of it.

Both my Sarge and Etch installations have /etc/environment. You might
not be running Debian at all.

If it's obvious that /etc/environment is being ignored, you can place
this line in ~/.bashrc

.. /etc/environment

Or you can just place the PATH and JAVA_HOME adjustments directly into
~/.bashrc.

I'm running Lenny.
I've inserted the lines to .bashrc as you sad
but it only worked to the terminal
it had no effect in gnome (eg: using Alt+F2)

I inserted 'source /etc/profile' directly into
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc

and it's working now!
I still want to know the correct way to do this.
if you someone knows, please send.

Thanks,

Create a file .xsession in your home directory with the following:
===cut===
source ~/.bashrc
PATH=<your path>
exec gnome-session
===cut===

Log out of gnome and log back in specifying the session as "User
default" or some such thing in the gdm menu.

Another approach is to run .xsession in a login shell:

#!/bin/sh -l
exec gnome-session

Then your X session will inherit your full profile.

There's no need to export the variables defined in /etc/environment...

> PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
> export PATH

....nor is to set them in $PATH. Try creating an /etc/environment file
consisting only
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12
It should work from then on.

So when you type for example
hgabreu@debian:~$ java example
the program "example" starts? Then it works. Menu links can be edited
to include the full path to java like
Exec=java example
==>
Exec=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin/java example

This has to be done only once.
