Hi I am closing this as invalid[1]. In general, programs should work without requiring a particular environment variable is set. Secondly it is impossible for update-java-alternatives to update the variable of any running terminal or X11 session. Also, as I recall, messing with /etc/environment is generally not acceptable (but I could be wrong here).
