IBM Java was installed into the directory 'usr/local':

$ /usr/local/java/jre/bin/java -version java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxi3280ea-20130422_01) IBM J9 VM (build 2.7, JRE 1.8.0 Linux x86-32 20130419_145797 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) J9VM - R27_Java827_Beta_3_20130419_2138_B145797 JIT - r13.b02_20130419_36653 GC - R27_Java827_Beta_3_20130419_2138_B145797 J9CL - 20130419_145797) JCL - 20130410_01 based on Oracle jdk8-b80

The file 'bashrc' was edited:

GNU nano 2.2.6 File: ./.bashrc

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre/bin/java

After saving the bashrc file, sign-out and sign-in, the java program is not accessible via command terminal 'java -version', the entire path has to be entered.

What is my mistake please?

The path was changed to:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/java/jre/bin/java

but the command terminal 'java -version' is not recognised.

java recognition fails after change of the file and sign-out, sign-in:

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/jre/bin/java export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre/bin/java

Have also tried: ... export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre but also unsuccessful recognition of the java command.
