We open a terminal and look for the location of java:

manuel@zonademanel:~ ? whereis java

java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/bin/X11/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz

What we are looking for is /usr/bin/java continue on the command line to find the absolute path , as this is only a symbolic link.

manuel@zonademanel:~ ? ls -lah /usr/bin/java

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 may 19 2015 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java

manuel@zonademanel:~ ? ls -lah /etc/alternatives/java

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 dic 7 11:52 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java

I modified my /etc/environment file with the following values

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin" JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre"

If I do not want to relogin I can reload the changes with:

source /etc/environment

??And run mvn -version correctly

manuel@zonademanel:~ ? mvn -version

Assuming you use bash shell and installed Java with the Oracle installer  you could add the following to your  bash profile  export JAVA HOME    usr libexec java home  export PATH  JAVA HOME jre bin  PATH   This would pick the correct JAVA HOME as defined by the Oracle installer and will set it first in your  PATH making sure it is found   Also  you don t need to change it later when updating Java   EDIT  As per the comments      Making it persistent after a reboot   Just add those lines in the shell configuration file   Assuming it s bash   Ex   bashrc   bash profile or  profile  for ubuntu      Using a custom Java installation   Set JAVA HOME to the root folder of the custom Java installation path without the       Ex  JAVA HOME  opt java openjdk

You must take the whole directory where java is installed  in my case   export JAVA HOME  usr java jdk1 8 0 31

I had this same issue but with open jdk and none of the answers here helped  The trouble was that the mvn script was appending  bin java at the end of JAVA home while trying to run java commands  The solution for me was to manually edit the  usr local apache-maven apache-maven-3 3 9 bin mvn script  your own script might be installed differently  just run which mvn  and change    if   -z  quot  JAVACMD quot      then   if   -n  quot  JAVA HOME quot       then     if   -x  quot  JAVA HOME jre sh java quot      then         IBM s JDK on AIX uses strange locations for the executables       JAVACMD  quot  JAVA HOME jre sh java quot      else       JAVACMD  quot  JAVA HOME bin java quot       fi   else     JAVACMD  quot  which java  quot    fi  fi  To if   -n  quot  JAVA HOME quot       then     if   -x  quot  JAVA HOME jre sh java quot      then         IBM s JDK on AIX uses strange locations for the executables       JAVACMD  quot  JAVA HOME jre sh java quot      else        JAVACMD  quot  JAVA HOME quot      fi   else     JAVACMD  quot  which java  quot    fi fi

Firstly  in a development mode  you should use JDK instead of the JRE  Secondly  the JAVA HOME is where you install Java and where all the others frameworks will search for what they need  JRE javac       So if you set     JAVA HOME  usr lib jvm java-7-oracle jre bin java   when you run a  mvn  command  Maven will try to access to the java by adding  bin java  thinking that the JAVA HOME is in the root directory of Java installation   But setting      JAVA HOME  usr lib jvm java-7-oracle    Maven will access add bin java then it will work just fine

JAVA HOME should be the directory where java was installed  not one of its parts   export JAVA HOME  usr lib jvm java-7-oracle
