Well, that didn't go very well.  I found it easier to go to 
/etc/alternatives and manually change jre, java, javaws and javaplugin.

I did this after doing man update-alternatives, and taking 2 aspirin.  
It's fixed, so I want be calling again in the morning.

Thanks for the pointer.  I can tell update-alternatives is powerful, but 
I found manual changes much easier than trying to understand it all.  I 
just hope something doesn't automatically change it all back later.
