Hi, I normally do it in ~.bashrc, as I try not to change much in the system so I can just backup my home where everything is that I changed and installed sits and am done.
I guess you can also do it in /etc/profile: The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells /etc/bash.bashrc: The systemwide per-interactive-shell startup file as man bash says. It's just important that you do export PATH=~/bin:/home/data/programs/j2re1.4.2_04/bin:$PATH somewhere. It's not necessary to do it where it's set at boot time.
