How do I find my Java home path?

Verify JAVA_HOME

  1. Open a Command Prompt window (Win⊞ + R, type cmd, hit Enter).
  2. Enter the command echo %JAVA_HOME% . This should output the path to your Java installation folder. If it doesn’t, your JAVA_HOME variable was not set correctly.

Where is JDK installed on Ubuntu?

On my system the default is located at ‘/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk’. There is also an alternative jdk installed at ‘/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun’. If there aren’t any you will need to install the package ‘sun-java6-jdk’ as pointed out in some other post.
