Java runtime environment error

Question

This may seem trivial but I haven't been able to find a fix.

I've installed the latest Java runtime environment but when I run java -version on the command line, I still get Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43)

However, when I test my Java version in browser, it works fine.

How can I get Terminal using the latest java version?

Begin -> Control Panel -> Java -> Java Tab -> "See" Button -> And choose the runtime environment. — Typo

see Installed Java 7 on Mac OS X but Terminal is still using version 6

maybe you need to select the java version you want to see.

I am assuming you are using windows.. from your command line

echo %PATH%

make sure your java PATH is pointing your latest java bin folder.

I am not sure about the Mac but Can you verify if you have symlink setup under /usr/bin?

ex. /usr/bin/java -> java_path

Maybe you can change this symlink to point to the latest java you have installed.
