I know it\'s installed because when I type:

$whereis java
java: /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/X11/java /usr/share/java     /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz
$cd /usr/bin
$ls -l java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 15  2014 java -> /etc/alternatives/java
$ls -l /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 15  2014 /etc/alternatives/java ->     /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java
