What's the difference?
Why do most of the linux instructions say to point JAVA_PATH to
JAVA_HOME (parent of the bin), but many university lab instructions
say to point JAVA_PATH to ${JAVA_HOME}/bin?
(Just not feeling comfortable here.)

I don't recall that I've ever seen a JAVA_PATH environment variable. Many
applications will use JAVA_HOME and add ${JAVA_HOME}/bin to the PATH
environment variable though. For example:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.4.2
PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
JAVA_HOME is also used by many other applications like Tomcat and various
IDEs.
