InstallShield has something like a .ini file for each supported JVM on
each platform. You specify portions of directory names where the JVM would
be installed, registry keys that might be set, the executable name to use,
and a mapping from generic option names (e.g. VERBOSE_GC) to jvm-specific
option flags (-verbose:gc).

Or you could just do "locate bin/java bin/jre" and run -version on
anything that comes up. Assuming locate is installed, anyway (it usually
is with sane distributions - but not with e.g. SuSE by default).
