JAVA_HOME default in ubuntu

I am using ubuntu 14.0.4... JAVA_HOME is always /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle even though i uninstalled java...

I manually set /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_71 in etc/environment. But $echo JAVA_HOME shows /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle.

How to resolve this issue and how to use my jdk1.8.0_71 in JAVA_HOME.

Try edit ~/.profile.
Add line at bottom:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_71"

After editing, close console (terminal) window and open new. Test with echo JAVA_HOME.
