I'm trying to run Catalina on Ubuntu Linux using the debug command. I'm getting the following error:
JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK in order to run in debug mode.
/bin/sh died with exit status 1
However, I have tried setting JAVA_HOME in the .bashrc
to all of the following:
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386/"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386/jre/bin"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/"
Am I missing anything?
In Debian/Ubuntu run:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
Path
---------------------------------------------
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
to find out the executables that are linked with your java
command.
Note: when update-alternatives
is used with the --config
option, the expected goal is to manually set the executable linked with the command (for e.g., see here). For our purposes, we could use --query
option instead.
The JDK paths are the prefix in these paths, i.e., the one before jre
. For example, based on the above output, you could set JAVA_HOME
in your .bashrc
file:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
So you can either export
this path or prefix before running the command, e.g.:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 catalina.sh debug
