title: Why I am not able to see the JAVA_HOME path on my MAC OS X 10.11?
body: <p>I am trying to run a JAVA application on my MAC OS X 10.11 ( El Capitan).</p>
  
  <p>I used <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1348842/what-should-i-set-java-home-to-on-osx?rq=1"> this link</a> to set the JAVA_HOME on my MAC OS X 10.11.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to run the following commands:<br>
    java -version <br>
    which java</p>
  
  <p>However when I go to the Terminal app on MAC and type echo $JAVA_HOME, I see nothing. 
  Why is that? 
  Does that mean that my JAVA_HOME is not set properly ?</p>
