Answer 1

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home` is exactly what you want to do.

In fact, all of the Apache projects (well, any project really) that hardcodes /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/... needs to use /usr/libexec/java_home if it exists. It's the only way you will know if Java is actually installed.

At some point in the future the symlinks in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ will be going away, which will even more severely break these projects if they want to load using an Oracle/OpenJDK JVM.

Answer 2

In your .bashrc file, add below lines:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME

This worked for me.

Answer 3

Add the following line to ~/.mavenrc file

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
