How to set custom Java path after installing JDK 8 Douglas C. Ayers. I noticed starting with version 8 that the Java installer now prepends to the Windows PATH variable C Program. DataOracleJavajavapath. For most casual users and developers that will only have Java 8 installed and not other versions then this should be fine. You can readily use the commands java or javac from the command prompt. If youre like me, you have different tools that have specific Java version requirements so you install multiple versions of Java. We have a couple of applications running on Java 5 and would like now to bring in an application based on Java 6. Can both java versions live together under WindowsFor example, versions 7 and 8, both the 3. However, to support multiple versions you must update your Windows PATH. Set JAVAHOME as first entry to Path Variable. Since the installer prepended the Oracle Java path to the front of the Windows PATH variable, I needed to create my own custom JAVAHOME environment variable pointing to the directory of Java 7 then prepend JAVAHOMEbin to my Windows PATH variable so that it was the first search directory. If I suffixed it to the end of the Windows PATH variable then Java 8 was always being picked up Windows searches the directories left to right in the PATH variable. Why not just remove the Oracle Java path entry and not worry about your JAVAHOME placement in the Path You might suggest to simply remove the Oracle Java path that was prepended to your Windows PATH by the installer. Yes, I thought of that too, but the installer also copies the java. I noticed starting with version 8 that the Java installer now prepends to the Windows PATH variable CProgramDataOracleJavajavapath.

So rather than chase down all the possible directories that the installer put Java, and to avoid deleting the System. I decided that simply prepending my preferred Java Home directory to the path was best option. Conclusion. So there you have it, as with prior versions of Java, if you have multiple installed you still have to setup and add JAVAHOME to your Windows PATH variable, but starting with Java 8 you now must be particular about adding the JAVAHOME entry at the front of the path.
