If the OS is RHEL/CentOS 5 or 6, you could have used:
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
to get a stock version that works fine with jenkins. This also sets
up the OS 'alternatives' (a system of symlinks) to make it the default
jave in PATH. That advantage of this approach is that subsequent 'yum
update's take care of all security/bug fixes where with non-stock
programs you have to keep checking for those yourself.
