So you have two versions of java installed?  If so, just remove the
one that doesn't work.

If not, a lot of java programs startup with the -cp command line
getting defined in a config file (something.properties) file, or from
a shell script (startup.sh, etc).

As far as fixing the native jvm, that's a little beyond me.  Sorry.  :)
