Invalid JAVA_HOME when build with cordova

I am trying to emulate an app on my device with cordova in OpenSuse Leap 42.1.
But when I tried to emulate the app with the cordova run I get the error below: 

cordova run
Running command: /home/soufraz/Projects/apps/myproject/platforms/android/cordova/run 
ERROR: Error: Failed to run "java -version", make sure that you have a JDK installed.
You can get it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.
Your JAVA_HOME is invalid: /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0

ERROR running one or more of the platforms: Error: /home/soufraz/Projects/apps/myproject/platforms/android/cordova/run: Command failed with exit code 2
You may not have the required environment or OS to run this project

I have the java installed and the paths set in ~/.profile.
Which is the configuration error in my environment?

Below my .profile: 

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0
export JAVA_HOME

ANDROID_HOME=/home/soufraz/Install/android-sdk-linux
export ANDROID_HOME

PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME:$JAVA_HOME

Info about java version: 

java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_60"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

And here the list of jvm folder:

Solution

  • In my specific case, I remove and reinstall all java packages and add one (for 'instinct'):
    I removed:
    java-1_8_0-openjdk
    java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless
    java-1_8_0-openjdk-plugin

    And added:
    java-1_8_0-openjdk
    java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless
    java-1_8_0-openjdk-plugin
    java-1_8_0-openjdk-devel <<-- luckily I hit it

    The bin inside main folder appears. With javac and another things.
    Thank you guys!
