Glory be.
I've had one of those for a long time now...

As for the unpredictable paths? There are quite a few programs that require a specific version of Java. Some install the Java files within their own directory, other's expect to find the version where the Sun/Oracle installer would place it. I supported Java 1.4.2 for quite a few years after 1.5 and 1.6 were released for that reason.
Yes, there is always bundling it of course, old versions are evil.
