	yes,you answer is correct .The JAVAHOME is required.I edit the /etc/profile instead –   Ninja  Oct 13 '13 at 14:36
3	Well, adding to ~/.mavenrc ensures that other apps are not affected. Only mvn picks up this version of JDK. :) –   MasterGaurav  Oct 14 '13 at 2:19
	Thank you! Finally maven in Eclipse compiles again...! –   jherranzm  Apr 12 '14 at 6:11
23	export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7) –   jla  May 19 '14 at 11:21
	wow. this is good. I just realized that the /etc/alternatives mess doesn't help me here. There is no alternative set up for the whole JDK. thanks. Saved me from asking a repeat question. –   Steve Cohen  Aug 8 '14 at 23:09
