for a specific user, open and edit the .profile file located in

the /home/Username folder.

export

PATH=$PATH:/home/username/somefolder

2. Before that line you must set your JAVA_HOME and then modify

your PATH to include it by adding the following lines:

export

JAVA_HOME=/home/username/j2sdk1.4.2/

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

3. Save the file.
