`locate libgcj.jar'
If that doesn't work, try `locate libgcj.zip'.
I don't know whether the RH 7.0 release used a jar file or a zip file.

These values are for setting the class path -- though with gcj you
shouldn't need to set the class path when compiling or running
programs.  If javaws is trying to find the install tree for some other
reason, then you might need to do something else.

I'm surprised to hear that the gcc-java RPM includes java and javac.
gcj doesn't, so these would have to have been added by the RPM author.
