The missing file is "java".  (java is a JRE (java runtime environment), but
it's not looking for a file called jre, it's looking for a file called java)
Rather than editing javapath and replacing it, why not just symlink
/usr/bin/java to wherever you actually have java installed?  Much easier in
the long run.  If your system is already configured to symlink /usr/bin/java
to /usr/bin/jsdk-1.4.5.2.1.3.4/dfadsfasdfasdf  or whatever then no config
needs to change.  Also means it's much easier to upgrade to newer versions
of java in the future, just change the symlink to point at the new
installation of java.  Rather than, say, having to update the config files
of all of your applications which use java!
