Problem with java and ln

[nistelreu]

Hello

I like to do a link from /usr/bin/java to /usr/java14_64/jre/bin. So that every user can find the java environment, without a change of the profiles.

# ls -la |grep java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 23 Aug 11 09:05 java -> /usr/java14_64/jre/bin/

The problem is:

# java -version
/usr/bin/java: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action..


Any idee??

Thanks a lot

Hi,

add the following at the end of the /etc/profile file.
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java14_64/jre
save the file.

add the following at the end of the /etc/environment file
PATH=$PATH;/usr/java14_64/jre/bin
save the file.

Java based applications need JAVA_HOME=/usr/java14_64/jre.
PATH is updated so that any user uses will have correct version of java applied to their shell.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for your help.

The problem is, that each user has his own PATH definition in .profile. So the /etc/profile don't work...

But my link is now running

Thank you
