I had a look at that script and it looks in /usr/lib/jvm/* for all
possibilities.

If the JDK, Oracle or OpenJDK, was installed, it would be there, also,
"java -version" wouldn't work if $PATH was incorrect.

The other issue is that that script uses it's own environment variable,
$JAVAPATH, not $JAVA_HOME or $JDK_HOME like the norm is. It also unsets
that variable at the start.
No idea why they don't look for the normal known variables :-/
