Re: PATH to java in X11

I've created /etc/environment file like this JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.5.0_12"
export JAVA_HOME

PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
export PATH

The first time I started and logged into gdm, it failed. Then I went to /etc/ and changed environment permissions. Ok, I managed to log in, but PATH doesn't have /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin I can't run a program that uses java from the menu link Only if a open gnome-terminal with any user and call the program, it works.

I know its possible to make a "workaround" starting everything thought terminal, but it's horrible!
Or go to "/usr/bin" and "ln -s ..." everything in JAVA_HOME/bin but that is not the point, I MUST know how to set PATH variable because its ridiculous. I no windows user.

Thanks,
