$JAVA_HOME resets after every terminal login

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 18046 / 2 Years ago, wed, march 2, 2022, 2:20:00

I just installed openjdk-8-jdk. I already had openjdk-7-jdk installed. When I ran echo $JAVA_HOME, it printed /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64.

So I tried changing the $JAVA_HOME variable but it resets to above path every time I re-open the terminal.
I have tried setting it in /etc/enviroment /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc ~/.bashrc but to no avail.

How can I change it? Also, where the $JAVA_HOME is currently set?

I figured it out. It was ridiculous mistake by me.

As I set JAVA_HOME in so many files, in all the mess I set it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 in ~/.bashrc. So every time I opened the terminal it changed to this no matter what was in all the other files, as ~/.bashrc runs every time teminal is opened.
