Paths are set up in several places. The global paths (those that are
set up by default) are in /etc/profile. In there, you'll see a line
like:
pathmunge /usr/X11R6/bin after
Add a line just after it:
pathmung /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03 after
and everyone will have it tacked onto their paths as the last item.
