Please, ANSWER this question AT http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29796098/cygnus-java-home-is-not-set

Question:
Cygnus JAVA_HOME is not set

Description:
I installed cygnus and when I hit sudo service cygnus start I get the status OK running.

But the log file says:

Warning: JAVA_HOME is not set!
+ exec /usr/bin/java -Xmx20m -Dflume.log.file=cygnus.log -cp '/usr/cygnus/conf:/usr/cygnus/lib/:/usr/cygnus/plugins.d/cygnus/lib/:/usr/cygnus/plugins.d/cygnus/libext/*' -Djava.library.path= es.tid.fiware.fiwareconnectors.cygnus.nodes.CygnusApplication -p 8081 -f /usr/cygnus/conf/agent_1.conf -n cygnusagent

I checked echo $JAVA_HOME and get:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64

I also checked java -version and got:

java version "1.6.0_35"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.13.7) (rhel-1.13.7.1.el6_6-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

So what am I missing here?

I did all these steps here:

Installing Cygnus

Open a terminal and simply configure the FIWARE repository if not yet
configured and use your applications manager in order to install the
latest version of Cy gnus (CentOS/RedHat example):

$ sudo cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/fiware.repo <http://repositories.testbed.fi-ware.eu/repo/rpm/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 EOL $ sudo yum install cygnus

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Cygnus, as it is based on Apache Flume, needs Java SDK is installed.
If not yet installed, do it right now:

$ sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

Remember to export the JAVA_HOME environment variable. In the case you
have installed Java SDK right now as shown above, this would be as:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64

In order to do it permanently, edit /root/.bash_profile (root user) or
/etc/profile (other users).
