You won't find the "jre" command: it's a Microsoft-ism. The correct way
to start the Java Virtual Machine is to invoke the "java" command.
How are you invoking the application? Is there a launch script of some
sort? If so, modify it so that occurrences of "jre" are replaced with
"java".
Alternatively, you could create a symbolic link as follows (as root):
ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/local/bin/jre
That might be enough to coax the application into running.
