I have installed OpenJDK as mentored below. But i still keep getting this error. I have set the right PATH in bash_profile.

Can someone help me out of this?

you need to install the java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel installing the java-1.6.0-openjdk just installs JRE .

You have installed the Java runtime, but to develop Java applications you need the JDK, hence you must install the OpenJDK devel package,in your case java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0.x86_64.

Not so sure about that but in my case i have set it this way : 

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_11/
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

I have done this in bash.bashrc

Try adding export before providing the variable name. Another thing i discovered even thought am not using openjdk, is that the tool.jar is not locate in the jre directory but under jdk directory.

Hope this helps.
