This is determined from the system, so the jre package should make
sure its "java" is picked first, otherwise you're creating a
dependency on jdk - i.e. make sure your jre/bin comes before jdk's
bin in PATH and everything should be fine.
A special case is when JAVA_HOME is set - I have updated JRI such
that it will try ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin before ${JAVA_HOME}/bin in such
case.

Maybe - Markus, can you have a look or should I do it? I didn't see
the JGR help code for a while, but I remember some overhaul was due -
switching to help objects should possibly solve the whole issue,
because R will handle all the paths then.
