When running from the command-line, you're not actually running java... Fedora
uses the "alternatives" config to map commands like /usr/bin/java to other
commands. Either remap it to your jdk installation, or use your jdk/bin path
when running java.
The response you get is a placeholder shell script, in lieu of the real java
command:
> libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
>
> This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
.... Etc.
