Answer 1

Open up Terminal.app (Applications >> Utilities >> Terminal)

Type: nano .profile

add this to the end of the .profile file:

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JAVA_HOME;

Save and exit (ctrl-x and y to confirm)

--- edit

Only now I saw, you are using open jdk, try it:

Before setting the path make sure that java is installed by checking the directory

terminal > type ls /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

You will see java versions installed

Then in .bash_profile

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<version>.jdk/Contents/Home
export JAVA_HOME

terminal type source ~/.bash_profile to reload
