Quite possibly.  Whenever I've used Java (rarely), I set it in a wrapper 
script personally.  But I was only suggesting setting PATH in pam_env.conf, 
where there is already a commented example of setting PATH.  Any time I've 
tried to use /etc/environment, bad things have happened regarding pam and 
cron scripts etc., but I guess I should read more before messing with it :)
