I've installed (and tried to remove) some openjdk oracle installer set-default package and since then every time I open a new terminal I need to export my JAVA_HOME.

Even though it is set properly in my /etc/environment: JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_162"

How can I get my java back?

OpenJDK and Oracle are both implementations of Java, and with each, you can install just the JRE or the JDK. You might want to edit your question to include--specifically--first, what you installed (you mention "some openjdk oracle installer set-default package" which doesn't make sense), and then, what you attempted to uninstall. – richbl Jan 27 '18 at 22:04
I think this is a duplicate of "How do I undo the changes that oracle-java8-set-default makes?". – Chai T. Rex Jan 27 '18 at 22:58
I did a grep oracle in the /etc folder, found a jdk.sh and a jdk.csh scripts. Removed those and rebooted Ubuntu and I have my JAVA_HOME back – gamesguru Jan 27 '18 at 23:51

Why is my java always set to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
