Sure, but SUSE package 64bit jdk in /usr/lib64/jvm, so the list can extended to

ICEDTEA7_VMS="/usr/lib/jvm/icedtea7 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk"
ICEDTEA8_VMS="/usr/lib/jvm/icedtea8 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk
/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk"

It would be great for me without having any impact on other distros.
