Correction; if you are on an i386 that above command is correct, though
it changes based on your architecture.  Running the following command
(yes, quotes in it are important) should give you a list of valid Java7
installations you can use with "update-java-alternatives --set":

"""
  # update-java-alternatives --list | awk '/1\.7/ { print $1 }'

"""
