Go look for something called java.conf

Mine is in /etc/java

It looks like this:

# System-wide Java configuration file -*- sh -*-
#
# JPackage Project <http://www.jpackage.org/>
# Location of jar files on the system
JAVA_LIBDIR=/usr/share/java
# Location of arch-specific jar files on the system
JNI_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/java
# List of known java homes (used for autodetection if none is provided)
JAVA_HOME_LIST=$JAVA_LIBDIR-utils/java_home.list
# Root of all JVM installations
JVM_ROOT=/usr/lib/jvm
# Default jvm
JAVA_HOME=$JVM_ROOT/java
# Options to pass to the java interpreter
JAVACMD_OPTS=

This is the version for Suse, which I think is the one you ought
to have.  But I am not sure if this is where you ought to find it.
