how to set a path for a command

how to set a path for a command?

hi,

i install java at fedora core. so to run any java applications i have to write the complety path. for example,

/usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/bin/java "javafile"

i want to write only "java" but it said "command not found".

how i fix this?

thank you very much

add path in profile

in case if you use korn shell add this line to your ~/.profile

html code:
export path=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_11/bin/java:$path

in case of bash add the above line to ~/.bash_profile

thanks
