Well, adding to ~/.mavenrc ensures that other apps are not affected. Only mvn picks up this version of JDK. :) –  MasterGaurav Oct 14 '13 at 2:19

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7) –  jla May 19 '14 at 11:21 

 

wow. this is good. I just realized that the /etc/alternatives mess doesn't help me here. There is no alternative set up for the whole JDK. thanks. Saved me from asking a repeat question. –  Steve Cohen Aug 8 '14 at 23:09
