So we have to get Java back into your path... I've got Sun Java, so mine 
will be slightly different than yours, but in your /etc/env.d/ and 
/etc/env.d/java directory you should have a couple of files in there.  
First you will have something like /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10.  
Each file in /etc/env.d/java/ represents each version of java you have 
installed on your system (thus you could have multiple versions and 
switch between them).  my /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 contains 
the following.

2006/01/08 23:27:53 nichoj Exp $

VERSION="Sun JDK 1.4.2.10"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JDK_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JAVAC=${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac
ADDPATH="${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/javaws"
ADDLDPATH="${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i686/:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i686/native_threads/:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i686/client/:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/i686/server/"
MANPATH="/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/man"
ENV_VARS="JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME JAVAC ADDPATH ADDLDPATH MANPATH"

You should also have something like /etc/env.d/20java  This would be the 
version of java you currently have set (active).  In my case, because I 
only have one java installed, it will largely be the same.  its contents 
are:

# Autogenerated by java-config
# Command: --set-system-vm=sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JDK_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JAVAC=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin/javac
PATH="/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/javaws"
ROOTPATH="/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/javaws"
LDPATH="/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/native_threads/:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/client/:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/lib/i686/server/"
# VERSION="Sun JDK 1.4.2.10"
MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/man
JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10

Now if you have a file in /etc/env.d/java/<something> but don't have an 
/etc/env.d/20java (or if you do, it is empty), then you should be able 
to fix that with java-config (man java-config).  However if both files 
/etc/env.d/java/<something> and /etc/env.d/20java seem legit, then we 
need to see why bash isn't sourcing the env.d files.  In fact now that I 
think about it, that might be your problem, as your path did seem to be 
quite short.  Mine for instance is:

echo $PATH
/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.5:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/javaws:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin

Before I start speculating any further, let me know where the above 
leads you...
