There is strange behavior on my system, I have just changed openJDK to Java 8, I set the java_home in .bashrc for Java 8, NOW strange echo $JAVA_HOME > /usr/lib/jvm/open-jdk  ,  i get this on my terminal instead Why echo $JAVA_HOME is not giving /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/


I have added following lines to .bashrc 

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
export PATH
