Setting the environment variable in files like .bash_profile won't work (unless you launch the application from the terminal) because in OSX the applications are not started as in other UNIX'es, they don't inherit the parents shell variables.
Applications like Oracle JDeveloper for mac also don't work by just setting .bash_profile. The only way is to edit /etc/launchd.conf to contain a line like this: "setenv VAR value" and then reboot the system.
