I have extracted this from the book called

on page 18 it says:

Add JAVA_HOME and JAVA_HOME/bin in your environment variable, PATH.

To add this in PATH click on Environment Variables in Advanced Tab of System Property.

Select Path in System variables and add JAVA_HOME and JAVA_HOME/bin to textbox and click Ok.

What should be the value?

Solution

  • It will let you and other applications run Java tools without having to type the whole path.

    I disagree about adding JAVA_HOME; I only have JAVA_HOME/bin in my PATH.

    Tomcat requires that JAVA_HOME be set properly in order to operate; so do some other Java EE app servers. (I believe WebLogic needs it.)
