    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
    C:\Documents and Settings\shalinig>echo %JAVA_HOME%
    It will simply display the path of directory where jdk is installed on your system.

    If anyone knows about the command used on Linux. Please share here. 😀

    Thanks

    In 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
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    A 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. 😀

    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.😀

    I guess you have not added JAVA_HOME variable in Environment variables. Please add it

    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?

    Java 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:
