The problem here is that you don't want to hard code it into your 
.bash_profile as that is only local (to that specific user).  you could 
do it in /etc/profile, but that would only work until the next java 
upgrade...  it looks like you have a java in /etc/env.d/java.  what 
happens if you run java-config (man java-config for the syntax).  you 
can use it to show the view the current jvm/jdk as well as set it, which 
is what we'll want to do if it isn't set.

also, what is contained in /etc/env.d/20java ?

also for giggles, can you put the output of  the command "env" here as well?
