how to change java path for maven

I'm trying to compile the mahout using maven2, but there's an error: "Embedded error: tools.jar not found: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/../lib/tools.jar" So I think if I change the path from jre to jdk, tools.jar will be found. But the question is how to change the path for maven2? Any suggestion is appreciated.

I found the solution in another thread: Why maven ignores my JAVA_HOME?

Reinstalling jdk worked for me as well: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

You will need both Java JDK and JRE.

${java.home} specifies the path to the current JRE_HOME environment use with relative paths to get for example: ${java.home}../bin/java.exe

And with a JDK for example in c:\jdk the maven ${java.home} is pointing to c:\jdk\jre
