When you install Lion there is no Java -preinstalled-. However, if you run any java application, or run "java" from the command line then Lion will prompt you, and automatically install java for you, then run the application you original tried to run.
If you want OpenJDK 1.7 - download Henri Gomez's excellent binary packages from: http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/ They work a treat - they're from the MacOS branch and even have the new Cocoa Swing contributed from Apple ( not fully tried it out tho ).
