it all depends upon what your needs are. I'm giving the larger picture
view here but I can appreciate that some are incapable of seeing the
larger picture.
you only need to implement that which you need - much as I've done there
by only exporting the JAVA_HOME and not the other environmental
variables.
Thus, the path is likely to be important and in his case, he needed the
environmental variable JAVA_HOME so it is exported
