JAVA_HOME from /etc/profile

[THUFIR HAWAT]

I'm using Jpackage on FC4 and would like to use cocoon.  For reasons
explained on the Jpackage list, Jpackage doesn't set JAVA_HOME (I
don't understand the rationale, but that's a different topic).

Presumably, the best place to set JAVA_HOME is in /etc/profile?  I
have about ten different JVM's, apparently.  Line's 6 and 54 of
/etc/profile are the same, and are supposed to set the environment
variable.  It's kinda working, in that something's being echoed, so
the variable's being set, but Cocoon is still having a problem. I want
all users to have the same JAVA_HOME setting, so don't want to do this
in the local users .bashrc, if possible.

terminal output:

[root at localhost cocoon-2.1.8]# ./cocoon.sh servlet
You must set JAVA_HOME to point at your Java Development Kit installation
