Rather than take a guess from the filename and size of the archive, why
not extract the archive and then run "java -version" from the extracted
files and parse the result? Surely that would be more reliable, although
it would require that the system building the package could run the
version of Java being packaged...

Parsing the output of 'java -version' is actually a more brittle
solution than the way it is currently handled; to see just how dynamic
the output can be, try IBM, BEA, and Sun 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 JREs and
compare the results.
