If an application needs to use java in a process it will be running and that process is based on something that must auto-restart on boot it is a good idea to set up the variable $JAVA_HOME.

1) Go to the users home directory:

cd ~

2) Open the file /home/username/.bashrc:

vim .bashrc

3) And add the following line:

export JAVA_HOME=”/path/to/java/home”
