How to get path and check in if statement

Hi,

I was wondering if it possible to get the path of a variable and compare that to something. Basically I want to write a script that checks if my $JAVA_HOME is correct and if not then it sets it. So far I have...


Code:
if [[$JAVA_HOME != '/pathhere']]
then
export JAVA_HOME='/pathhere'
echo JAVA_HOME='/pathhere'
fi

Problem is that the script can't seem to understand that I want to compare the path $JAVA_HOME and not what's in there. Anyone know how to just extract the path from that already set variable? Thanks!
