Centos – JDK not found on CentOS 6 x64

centoscentos6javajetty

I installed jetty on a CentOS 6 server, but when i try to reach a WAR example of jetty I get this error :

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: PWC6345: There is an error in invoking javac.  A full JDK (not just JRE) is required

yum says that the JDK 1.6 is already installed and when I run

locate javac

nothing relevant is returned.

I added /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/bin to $PATH

but I think this is still JRE and not a JDK.

I downloaded and executed java_ee_sdk-6u4-jdk7-linux-x64.sh but it outputs Could not locate a suitable jar utility.

Do someone know how could I install the Java development kit 1.6 on this server ?

EDIT :
I updated JAVA_HOME and PATH and I still get the same error.
I added the following commands to my bash_profile :

export PATH=/usr/java/latest/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest/

But I get an unexpected EOF syntax error

EDIT 2 :

I installed jdk-7-linux-x64.rpm as the other weren't working, which generated new files in /usr/java/. unfortunately, after adding the new path to java it still doesn't work.

thanks in advance

You need to install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel as well.
