Cordova build android failing due to JAVA_HOME error

I am on mac and trying to build my cordova project for Android. Whenever I run cordova build android I get following error:

$ cordova build android
ANDROID_HOME=/Users/sharmanitin/Library/Android/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
Subproject Path: CordovaLib

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation.

Result for ECHO $JAVA_HOME:

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home

Both JAVA and JAVAC command work fine in my terminal. Also, not sure if it matters buy I am using zsh instead of bash on my mac.

That's because it's not a valid directory. The error itself says its an incorrect directory.

To set the path correctly :-

Check if /usr/libexec/java_home exists.

If it does then try running

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home
