javac is the compiler (part of JDK). You can try just 'where java' to get the path to JRE currently in use.

if you are using QF-Test and want fetch this Information via a Groovy or Jython Script, you may check the Variable Groups descibed under "External data and special groups" in the Manual. Perhaps something will help you.
