At home having just walked the mutts, and my 1.7 build was a few months
back - so all that follows is from memory. Value it accordingly.
Contrary to John, I prefer to have these things system-wide - i.e.
in /etc/profile. Just like SYS1.PARMLIB - I look after it, and it's my
responsibility to make it right.
We have always set JAVA_HOME without the "/bin"; when constructing the
$PATH, I then use $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin. That way it's always built
correctly when versions change. As I was installing the 64 bit 1.5 with
z/OS 1.7, and there was 31-bit 1.4 (Java) on my old (z/OS) 1.4 system, I
wrapped some simple "if logic" around the assignment of JAVA_HOME so I
could IPL either z/OS 1.4 or 1.7 without screwing up the Java
environment.
Well, not too much anyway.
Java needs to be ordered - the 1.4 used to be freely downloadable, but
(later ???) the SMP packaged version needed to be ordered. Too long ago
to remember exactly I'm afraid. For us the 64-bit had to be
specifically added to the 1.7 order.
BTW, those "echo" and "export" (and similar) commands need tobe in lower
case. Obvious I know, but ...
