You should set it with C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_12.

bin is not required.

JAVA_HOME should point to the home jdk directory, and not to jdk/bin directory.

You need to set the JAVA_HOME like this:

JAVA_HOME="C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_131"

answered Jul 19, 2017 at 6:46

Remove the bin, and also remove the ; at the end. After restart the cmd and run.

Try the following:

Remove bin from JAVA_HOME path.
Open new command line window.
Run your command as an administrator.

On linux and mac:

To find the path java -XshowSettings:properties -version 2>&1 > /dev/null | grep 'java.home'
result e.g. java.home = /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
copy: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
Add line in your config bash file (e.g.~/.zshrc): export JAVA_HOME=<resultFirstStep>

On Window 10, the problem was with the semicolon ;.

Go to edit the system environment variables and delete the semicolon at the end of JAVA_HOME value C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_144

In other words, convert this C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_12; to C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_12

You might have to delete your entry in the Windows Dialog and create a new one. If you ever had multiple entries and get the bigger Form view, Windows automatically inserts a ; at the end of each entry, even if you only have one entry left.

set JAVA_HOME as C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_172

do not use semicolon «;» with above JAVA_HOME value

To verify that it is correctly set, Go to command prompt check for C:…….>sdkmanager —list

a complete list will appear that will let you now that it is successfully saved.

else it will show error that JAVA_HOME path is not correctly set.

answered Jul 10, 2018 at 6:59

First try removing the ‘bin’ from the path and set the home directory JAVA_HOME as below:
JAVA_HOME : C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_131

Second Update System PATH:

In “Environment Variables” window under “System variables” select Path
Click on “Edit…”
In “Edit environment variable” window click “New”
Type in %JAVA_HOME%bin

Third restart your docker.

Refer to the link for setting the java path in windows.

Please remove /bin and even semi colon ; from JAVA_HOME to resolve.

I found this while googling the issue with android licences when installing Flutter.

For Linux, update Your ~/.bashrc (or other shell config) file by adding this line at the end:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/android-studio/jre

Note: I installed Android studio by following the official installation guide for Linux (link).

For Windows, use the android studio’s path to the jre directory and update the environment variable with the right value.

Then, run flutter doctor --android-licenses and press y to review the licences which are not accepted.
Press y for each of the licences. It will ask Accept? (y/N): at the end of the license file.
After You accept all unaccepted licences, You should see:

All SDK package licenses accepted

While copying the JDK PATH, exclude bin folder in it.

e.g.

C:Program FilesJavajdk-15.0.2

your path should look like blow, you just need to edit it and remove bin folder

C:Program FilesJavajdk-15.0.2bin

Check for duplicate entries of JAVA_HOME in system variables.

In my case none of the above answers worked but I had two entries for JAVA_HOME and removing one worked.

answered Jun 1, 2021 at 6:54

I was using `jenv`

In my case, I was using jenv but did not set the java version, so the path that jenv was pointing actually a Java installation.

When I ran echo $JAVA_HOME, it showed /Users/username/.jenv/versions/system, and there was no such file or directory.

Set a version of java

I just had to do jenv global 15 or jenv local 15, to specify what version I wanted to actually use, and JAVA_HOME changed when I re-ran echo $JAVA_HOME.

How to fix JAVA_HOME errors

There’s nothing worse than installing your favorite Java-based application — such as Minecraft, Maven, Jenkins or Apache Pig — only to run into a JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory or a JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly error as soon as you boot up the program.

Well, there’s no need to fret. Here’s how to fix the most common JAVA_HOME errors.

How to fix JAVA_HOME not found errors

It’s worth noting that there aren’t standardized JAVA_HOME error messages that people will encounter. There are many different ways that a given JAVA_HOME error might be logged.

For example, one of the most common JAVA_HOME configuration problems arises from the fact that the environment variable has never actually been set up. Such a scenario tends to trigger the following error messages:

Error: JAVA_HOME not found in your environment
Error: JAVA_HOME not set
Error: JAVA_HOME is not set currently
Error: JAVA_HOME is not set
Error: Java installation exists but JAVA_HOME has not been set
Error: JAVA_HOME cannot be determined from the registry

How do you fix the JAVA_HOME not found problem?

Well, you fix this by in the Windows environment variable editor where you can actually add a new system variable. If you know your way around the Windows operating system, you should be able to add the JAVA_HOME environment variable to your configuration and have it point to the installation root of your JDK within minutes. The Windows 10 setting looks like this:

Fix JAVA_HOME not found errors

As mentioned above, the JAVA_HOME variable must point to the installation root of a JDK, which means a JDK must actually be installed. If one isn’t, then you better hop to it and get that done.

The JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory fix

The next most common JAVA_HOME error message is JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory. The error message is delightfully helpful, because it tells you in no uncertain terms the environment variable does in fact exist. And, it also tells you it’s not pointing to the right place, which is helpful as well. All you need to do to fix this error is edit the JAVA_HOME variable and point it to the correct directory.

The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point to the root of the installation folder of a JDK. It cannot point to a sub-directory of the JDK, and it cannot point to a parent directory that contains the JDK. It must point directly at the JDK installation directory itself. If you encounter the JAVA_HOME invalid directory error, make sure the name of the installation folder and the value of the variable match.

An easy way to see the actual value associated with the JAVA_HOME variable is to simply echo its value on the command line. In Windows, write:

>/echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:/_JDK13.0

On an Ubuntu, Mac or Linux machine, the command uses a dollar sign instead of percentages:

:-$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-13-oracle

How to find JAVA_HOME in Mac or Ubuntu Linux computers.

Steer clear of the JDK bin directory

One very common developer mistake that leads to the JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory error is pointing JAVA_HOME to the bin sub-directory of the JDK installation. That’s the directory you use to configure the Windows PATH, but it is wrong, wrong, wrong when you set JAVA_HOME. If you point JAVA_HOME at the bin directory, you’ll need to fix that.

This misconfiguration also manifests itself with the following error messages:

JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory
Java installation exists but JAVA_HOME has been set incorrectly
JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly
JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

Other things that might trigger this error include spelling mistakes or case sensitivity errors. If the JAVA_HOME variable is set as java_home, JAVAHOME or Java_Home, a Unix, Linux or Ubuntu script will have a hard time finding it. The same thing goes for the value attached to the JAVA_HOME variable.

The JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK error

One of the most frustrating JAVA_HOME errors is JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.

Here’s a little bit of background on this one.

When you download a JDK distribution, some vendors include a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as well. And when the JAVA_HOME environment variable gets set, some people point it at the JRE installation folder and not the JDK installation folder. When this happens, we see errors such as:

JAVA_HOME does not point to a JDK
JAVA_HOME points to a JRE not a JDK
JAVA_HOME must point to a JDK not a JRE
JAVA_HOME points to a JRE

To fix this issue, see if you have both a JRE and JDK installed locally. If you do, ensure that the JAVA_HOME variable is not pointing at the JRE.

JAVA_HOME and PATH confusion

After you’ve downloaded and installed the JDK, sometimes another problem can plague developers. If you already have programs that installed their own version of the JDK, those programs could have added a reference to that specific JDK in the Linux or Windows PATH setting. Some programs will run Java using the program’s availability through the PATH first, and JAVA_HOME second. If another program has installed a JRE and put that JRE’s bin directory on the PATH, your JAVA_HOME efforts may all be for naught.

However, you can address this issue. First, check the Ubuntu or Windows PATH variable and look to see if any other JRE or JDK directory has been added to it. You might be surprised to find out that IBM or Oracle has at some prior time performed an install without your knowledge. If that’s the case, remove the reference to it from the PATH, add your own JDK’s bin directory in there, and restart any open command windows. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

Of course, there is never any end to the configurations or settings that can trigger JAVA_HOME errors. If you’ve found any creative solutions not mentioned here, please add your expert insights to the comments.

Hello fellow Ubuntu users,

I am trying to learn how to write modifications to Minecraft. In order to follow the tutorial I am using, I need to run a «gradlew». The command is as follows

./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace eclipse

This yields the following

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_20

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

Obviously I don’t know what to do or even what this means. Any help is much appreciated.

asked Nov 27, 2014 at 20:05

Before running the command try entering:

export JAVA_HOME="path_to_java_home"

Where path_to_java_home is the folder where your bin/java is.

If java is properly installed you can find it’s location, by using the command:

readlink -f $(which java)

Don’t forget to remove bin/java from the end of the path while putting it into JAVA_HOME

To make it automatic on Linux/Ubuntu, add these lines at the end of your .bashrc:

JAVA_HOME=$(dirname $( readlink -f $(which java) ))
JAVA_HOME=$(realpath "$JAVA_HOME"/../)
export JAVA_HOME

This gets java executable, then climbs up a directory level

To designate the default java version/executable on Debian/Ubuntu, run this once:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

This builds up on previous answer by Andrew Onischuk (thanks!)

Get your Java path using the command

whereis java

The following is a possible output depending on your default Java version

java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_241/jre/bin/java

Maven need to pick the Java location (home) so you can export the Java path using the following command

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_241/jre

This will allow Maven to pick the java version and location in the /etc/environment file

Optionally you can add this in the /etc/environment manually using the following command

sudo nano /etc/environment

and edit the JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_241/jre/

answered Mar 11, 2020 at 8:01

Try to edit /usr/bin/gradle

Comment the line «export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java» with a #

Run with sudo

You are not a sudo doer for running this command

So Add sudo to it.

Description

If you have multiple versions of Java installed on your Windows computer or the variable value does not match the installation path, this error may occur when attempting to run the genrocket command.

Troubleshooting Steps

Complete the steps to resolve:

Check the actual path of Java. The default path should be one the following for most Windows computers (unless a custom install was performed):
- C:Program Files (x86)Java*Version #*
- C:Program FilesJava*Version #*
Next, in the Environment Variables configuration, view the JAVA_HOME variable value in the System Variables section.
Here is an example of an invalid path. The primary path is correct, but contains 2 directories for JRE and JDK. The correct directory needs to be displayed here. If it is a custom install, the entire path might need to be altered.
Correct the variable value by clicking Edit and typing or browsing to the appropriate path.
Click OK to save the change and close the System Variables window.
Click OK to close the System Properties window.
Be certain to exit the command window and open a new instance before trying the genrocket command again.
If the JAVA_HOME variable path is correct, the command should run successfully.

Note: This error will also come up when an unsupported version of Java is used. If an unsupported version is being used, you will need to install a correct version and then check the path in this variable again to ensure it is correct.

Note: Additionally, this problem is more likely to occur when using Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Better results are typically received by using a supported version of the Java Development Kit (JDK). See Installation Overview for more information about what versions are supported.

Во многих статьях в интернете, документации к инструментам для разработки на Java и в книгах зачастую упоминается JAVA_HOME. Что же такое JAVA_HOME?

JAVA_HOME это переменная окружения, указывающая на директорию с установленным JDK (Java Development Kit, комплект разработчика Java). JAVA_HOME это соглашение, используемое во многих программах из экосистемы Java.

Какие программы используют JAVA_HOME

Intellij IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans
Apache Maven, Apache Ant, Gradle
Apache Tomcat
Jenkins

Некоторые игры, написанные на Java (например, Minecraft), тоже могут требовать установленной переменной JAVA_HOME.

Ошибки, связанные с JAVA_HOME

Если переменная окружения JAVA_HOME не определена, некоторые программы могут выдавать следующие ошибки:

Переменная среды java_home не определена
Cannot determine a valid Java Home
JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory
JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly
JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set
JAVA_HOME command not found
JAVA_HOME not found in your environment
JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

При появлении таких ошибок просто установите переменную JAVA_HOME

Как установить переменную окружения JAVA_HOME в Windows

Сперва вам нужно установить JDK или JRE.

Установите JDK, если вы занимаетесь разработкой программ на Java
Установите JRE, если вам нужно только запустить прикладную программу на Java

После установки JDK либо JRE запишите путь установки, он понадобится.

Теперь щёлкните правой кнопкой на «Мой компьютер» → «Свойства» → «Дополнительные параметры системы» → «Переменные среды…». В разделе «Системные переменные» нажмите кнопку «Создать…» и укажите следующие данные:

Имя переменной	JAVA_HOME
Значение переменной	Путь к директории JDK / JRE, например: C:Javajdk-11.0.6

Сохраните изменения, кликнув «OK». Теперь выберите в списке переменную окружения Path и нажмите «Изменить…». В конце списка добавьте строчку со значением «%JAVA_HOME%bin«
