I just installed the Java SDK on Ubuntu 5.10 and I'm looking for a way to permanently set the path variable to include the java bin directory. I realize that I can do it each time I open the shell by typing PATH=$PATH:/directory, but I want to be able to set it permanently so that each time I open the shell it will just work. What file do I have to edit and where is it?

For your user, edit ~/.bashrc.
Globally, edit /etc/profile.

In my setup, I had appended the PATH in file bash.bashrc (somewhere in /etc)..

You need to set in ~/.bashrc and export it
export JAVA_HOME=<blah_blah>
export CLASSPATH=<blah_blah>
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

You don't need to use EXPORT in .bashrc
simply PATH=MyJavaPath:$PATH is enough to make suns Java the default and everything work for that user.
