Mar 22, 2019 at 2:07 comment added G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' PATH defines where the shell looks for programs (like cat, ls, java and javac). It is searched from left to right. If you say PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH, you put $JAVA_HOME/bin (/opt/jdk-11.0.2/bin) at the beginning of PATH, so it looks there first. If you say PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin, you put $JAVA_HOME/bin at the end of PATH — and the directory of OpenJDK version 10.0.2 is in the current PATH value somewhere, so it will be found rather than 11.0.2.

Mar 22, 2019 at 0:16 comment added Gooner4Life @G-Man I have further question what is the difference b/w PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin and PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Mar 21, 2019 at 22:04 comment added G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' Put the export commands into your .bashrc or .bash_profile file.
Mar 21, 2019 at 21:58 comment added Gooner4Life @G-Man I did execute the path command provided from your side and it worked. But when I reboot my system it again point to the OpenJDK, so any suggestion in there how to configure it just once
Mar 21, 2019 at 21:51 comment added Gooner4Life @G-Man So it is ok to uninstall the OpenJDK version? Got some feedback in the forum it's better not to uninstall it.
Mar 21, 2019 at 21:49 comment added G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' Well, I guess you (still) have OpenJDK version 10.0.2 installed, right?  If you’re willing to uninstall that, that would be a good step. Otherwise, try PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH so it finds the new version.
