For most users, the Java wrapper script will take care of setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable and will add the appropriate entries to the CLASSPATH so that the JVM finds the standard API classes. The PATH environment variable needs to include a path to the Java wrapper script. People writing applications with non-Java mains may need to worry about the setting of CLASSPATH and SHLIB_PATH.
