I don't have JAVA_HOME set, but do have JAVA_VERSION set (1.7)
That may be an issue at some point, but for this particular problem
I don't think it is (since openjdk8-jre showed up ok).

The problem is that manually adding a path doesn't work.
I have both openjdk7-jre and openjdk8-jre installed,
as well as the complete jdk7 and jdk8;
in /usr/local/openjdk7-jre and /usr/local/openjdk8-jre and
/usr/local/openjdk7 and /usr/local/openjdk8 respectively.
Aoo automagically found the jre in openjdk8-jre, but not the one
in openjdk7-jre, or the ones in the full openjdkX installs.
If I open the dialog and point it at /usr/local/openjdk7-jre,
it claims there is no valid jre there.
However, there *is* as nearly as I can tell.
In particular, /usr/local/openjdk7-jre/lib/rt.jar exists and is
readable. Same for /usr/local/openjdk7/jre/lib/rt.jar.
Which is why I'm wondering how it determines whether a jre is present
or not.
With only JAVA_VERSION set (to 1.7), compiles and executions seem
to do the right thing:
$ java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0_91"
$ javac garya/ClassTest.java
$ ls -lt garya
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 garya 1001 246 Oct 15 20:09 Cl.class
-rw-r--r-- 1 garya 1001 533 Oct 15 20:09 ClassTest.class
-rwxr-xr-x 1 garya 1001 415 Oct 15 20:07 ClassTest.java
$ java garya.ClassTest

Already have that one covered, although I'm using 5.1.37
Mine is in /usr/local/openjdkX-jre/lib/ext similar to yours,
although it is actually a symlink to an installed port; the
actual file is in /usr/local/share/java/classes/mysql-connector-java.jar
