Karl,
If you are doing a default x86 Sun JDK install, you will find the
distributables in /usr/java/jdk.../bin directory. If you are using Java
6 then you should also see /usr/java/default and /usr/java/latest
symlinks pointing to the Java6 directory.
You could add /usr/java/default/bin to your path (either by modifying
/etc/profile file, or in any other file that you use to setup your
environment)
Now, you should be able to run whatever command that you wanted to run:
java -jar XYZ.jar
HTH,
Rogue
