-------------------------------------
yep, still an issue. I've added you as a contributor to jira, so you ought to
be able to assign this to yourself now if you'd like.
here's the general guide to contributing to documentation. if you need a
pointer on something let me know.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug

> The quickstart guide currently instructs folks to set JAVA_HOME, but to the
> wrong place
> {code}
> The JAVA_HOME variable should be set to a directory which contains the
> executable file bin/java. Most modern Linux operating systems provide a
> mechanism, such as /usr/bin/alternatives on RHEL or CentOS, for transparently
> switching between versions of executables such as Java. In this case, you can
> set JAVA_HOME to the directory containing the symbolic link to bin/java,
> which is usually /usr.
> JAVA_HOME=/usr
> {code}
> instead, it should tell folks to point it to a jdk installation and help them
> on how to find that.
