The path is set for each user on login.
Have a look at your .profile file in your home directory.
Add or change a line to something like this:

setenv PATH "${PATH}:/path/to/JDK"

or, if you get bash running again, like this (you probably already
have the export line in your .profile (or .bash_profile):

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/JDK
export PATH

You can make this the default for everyone on your system by changing
/etc/profile (for bash) or /etc/csh.cshrc (for [t]csh) in a similar way.

chsh
or edit /etc/passwd as root.
