Set Java Home

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0 [Location of your JDK Installation Directory]

Once you have the JDK installation path:

- Right-click the My Computer icon on
- Select Properties.
- Click the Advanced system setting tab on left side of your screen
- Advance Popup is open.
- Click on Environment Variables button.
