java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)

What has seemed to work for me is respecting the following structure:

unpack the 32 and 64 bit tarballs under instances,
then create a symlink in /usr/jdk
finally, update the "latest" symlink to the version you wish to have by 
default
