How to find out the path of installed JDK
A long time back a here asked this question in a very informal way(I mean not in any thread) and he didn't even tried to share its answer also.Well, just now I was trying something and got its answer:
In windows:
Step1: Open command prompt
Step2: Simply type following command
If anyone knows about the command used on Linux. Please share here. π
Thanks
In windows:

komputergeekIn ubuntu we can use whereis command
whereis java
But with this we get different paths,corresponding to different files.So instead of this command it is better to use :
whereis javac
OR
locate javac -

answer with patience for my silly question π -
shalini_goel14A very good question Raviteja, echo command will work as a normal command so I guess it will print %JAVA_HOME% only in output instead of any path. π
Please try it on your system and confirm it because on my system JDK is already installed.
Hope I have answered you. Please correct me if I am wrong.π -

I guess you have not added JAVA_HOME variable in Environment variables. Please add itminiyIn my system,jdk is already installed..But i am not getting the path..It just prints %JAVA_HOME% in the output instead of pathπ....Why is that so??
e.g. JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin in My Computer Properties->Advanced Settings->Environment Variables window.
Then try that command.
By the way, is Java working on your system. I mean any java program is working fine? -
Yamini LJava programs are working..Previously i had done so many.So no problem with that..As you said,JAVA_HOME variable has not been added in that Environmental Variables list..I followed your instructions,added that and now its fine..
Thanks for clearing my doubt..:smile: -
Raviteja.gyes in my system jdk is installed but the environment vaiable is path so at first it prints %java_home%
but now it works
