Could you tell us what this symlink is and where it is?

Hmmm I wasn't entirely correct. It didn't point directly to the JDK but again in several steps.

On my Mageia 2 system it is:
  /usr/lib/jvm/java
which first points to symlink:
  /etc/alternatives/java_sdk
which in turn points to symlink:
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk
which finally points to the actual location:
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.6
(note I have a 32-bit system so there's no .x86_64 suffix here)

The first two of those symlink seems to be "constant", the third and following ones are updated upon each Java update by the rpm package manager.
