Yeah, Java installation isn't quite standardized across distros and
operating systems :-(

I too had to track down all symlinks (some 4 or 5 levels deep) to find the
"real" files. But at least on my system there was a "stationary" symlink
pointing to them that seems to be updated upon every Java version update. It
took me quite a while to find out what it was and even then I only use it to
find out where to point JAVA_HOME to.
