If you want to use what you already have, you will need to add an entry to your path. You can do this on a per-user basis by editing the .bashrc or .bash_profile files with an entry like

PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jre-xxx/bin export PATH

Assuming your /usr/java contains a directory named jre-1.5.0_01

To find the Sun java executable first, you need to put the jre bin directory on the beginning of the path:

PATH=/usr/java/jre-1.5.0_01/bin:$PATH export PATH

After updating your .bashrc or .bash_profile be sure to log out and back in again to pick up the changes...
