Where have you set the path? In e.g ~/.bashrc ? –  MrSmith42 Oct 8 '13 at 7:36
    
Run which java and echo $PATH on both shells, and attach the output –  warl0ck Oct 8 '13 at 8:30
    
CentOS does not user 'alternative' command for this? '/usr/sbin/alternatives –install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 20000' –  BitsOfNix Oct 8 '13 at 11:36
    
How did you install Java? Via the RPMs or as a tarball? if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/… –  slm♦ Dec 6 '13 at 7:16

That's just because you probably set the path for java using export in a terminal. That will only work for the current session (terminal).

To make it permanent, you would have to add the export line you used to your ~/.bashrc file.
