Try /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/. It works for me.

do the command:

which java

probably will return /usr/bin/java that is a link to /etc/alternatives/java which is another link to (probably) /usr/local/jvm/java-6-sub/jre/bin/java , so, your *JAVA_HOME* is/should be set to /usr/local/jvm/java-6-sub/jre

Type : "echo $JAV" and then hit tab for auto-complete. Then hit enter. If the path variable does not exist use : "whereis java" or "find / -iname "java" 2>/dev/null"

This is how it is set up on mine:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26

You can check using the command

whereis jvm
