Answer 1

In your ~/.bashrc file add the following lines

export JAVA_HOME=/home/username/jdk1.7.0_11
export JDK_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib

in place of jdk1.7.0_11 put your JDK and see to it that the specified path is correct(wherever you have youe JDK).
