If you're using bash, try putting something like this into your $HOME/.bashrc : export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/jre export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin As for the CLASSPATH, I think you don't have to set this manually with current JRE packages anymore unless including additional classes (JDBC drivers, java-mail and the like).
