Did you try to run in console? Is file association configured?

openjdk extensions adjust your /etc/profile so add it to your backup list and reboot than java will be in PATH
or you can manually do it in a terminal session

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/opendjk-7
export PATH=/usr/local/openjdk-7/jre/bin:$PATH

That should probably be noted in the .info, or added as a wrapper, etc.
