Where is the Java SDK folder in my computer Ubuntu 12 04

Question

I know it s installed because when I type    java -version   I get   OpenJDK Runtime Environment  IcedTea6 1 12 5   6b27-1 12 5-0ubuntu0 12 04 1  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM  build 20 0-b12  mixed mode    And when I type    locate jdk   I get    home arturo Documents 2012a sys java jre glnxa64 jre lib servicetag jdk header png  usr share app-install desktop openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-java desktop  usr share app-install desktop openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-java desktop  usr share app-install icons openjdk-6 png  usr share app-install icons openjdk-7 png   What worries me about the first item in the list is that the 2012a folder is my MATLAB folder and not a standard  usr lib  folder  I m really confused on where the JDK and JRE got installed  because I need to set the  JAVA HOME path pointing to the folder  Where am I missing something
