Manual page of `javaws` mentions JAVA_HOME

With `apt-file search DocumentBuilderFactory` I did found

Hence the original
> > To what should JAVA_HOME be set?
 

At  https://www.wikihow.com/Set-Java-Home#For-Linux  I found
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_06/bin/java

But there is no  /usr/java/ on my Debian system.


Transforming

into


Which sane value for JAVA_HOME  should I try
with next `javaws launch.jnlp` ?
