That's a reasonable and non-intrustive way to handle the issue. Presuming that Sun places the java binary the same place across different distro's and packaging methods, this should work:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java -jar MediaConverter.jar
Maybe other folks won't have this problem, it seems weird to me that the JRE installer doesn't put the java binary in the path anywhere and it may be an artifact of my having GNU java installed already. But you could note the situation, include the script, and see what bug reports and suggestions come in.
