Yup! :D
What they're refering to is the script that is executed whenever you run
a session in linux - from starting an x session (I think) to launching a
terminal.
I think that the file you'll be wanting will be called ".bash_profile",
and yes - you need to edit the one in the home directory of any users
who will be kicking j2ee off.
In this instance the '.' is insignificant really - it is actually part
of the filename itself, and is generally used to precede 'hidden' system
type files and stuff.
