bash - macOS Catalina 10.15(beta) - Why is ~/.bash_profile not sourced by my shell?

Question

I want to set the environment variable I added below the line to ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile but it didn't work.

export JBOSS_HOME=/Users/{USERNAME}/Desktop/jboss7

Afterward, exit the terminal and open it again when executing echo $JBOSS_HOME I get nothing.

Apple has changed the default shell to zsh. Therefore you have to rename your configuration files. .bashrc is now .zshrc and .bash_profile is now .zprofile.
