You should set your environment so that the command interpreter (the shell) will be able to find the appropriate commands. This is something platform dependent, but most of the time what you need to do is to add the path of the java binaries to the PATH environment variable. For example, if your java binaries (java, javac) where installed in /home/anna/java/bin, you add the path to the PATH environment variable like this:

PATH=$PATH:/home/anna/java/bin

you can type this command directly into the command line, but this way it will be valid only for the current shell, so you´d better put this command into one of your shell´s initialization files (like $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.bash_profile if your shell is GNU Bash, for example).

airport2-config

AIRPORT2-CONFIG(1)					      General Commands Manual						AIRPORT2-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       airport2-config - Configurator for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow")

SYNOPSIS

       airport2-config

DESCRIPTION

       airport2-config allows you to manage your AirPort base station, just like the AirPort software on Mac OS X.

OPTIONS

       airport2-config	accepts  no  command-line  options. airport2-config is a wrapper script around the Airport2BaseStationConfigurator.jar jar
       file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG  environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The  full  path  to  the	Java  Virtual  Machine	to  use.  By  default,	the  wrapper  uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
