Removing trailing bin/java at end of environmental variable in linux

I am trying to compile mahout, I have temporarily changed the JAVA_HOME variable like this:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.33.x86_64/

and I checked that it was changed correctly using this command:

printenv |grep JAVA_HOME

which returns:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.33.x86_64

But when I run mahout mvn clean install -DskipTests=true I run into this error:

Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.33.x86_64/bin/java

I am not sure how this bin/java has shown up. The questions that seem similar to mine with the trailing bin/java don’t seem to be quite the same as mine or don’t make sense because the answer is just to remove it but I never had it in my path in the first place.

How can I solve this bin/java issue? Thanks in advance.

Answering this in case others run into the same problem. If this post becomes old make sure you have the correct java file name version in the name!

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.35.x86_64/

I had the wrong name for the java path it should be:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.35.x86_64/ NOT java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.33.x86_64

35 NOT 33
