On my mac os 10.6.6 I'm trying to persist env variable $JAVA_HOME but it doesn't stick!

$ export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Once I restart it won't be set anymore. The GUI way to do that is to use the Property List Editor as documented by Apple and on SOSO. However, after a restart:

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
    
$
