Also, leave default state as sane config for day-to-day.

Consider:

$PATH
$JAVA_HOME

Paths to JDKs:

Apple (Oracle) installs to: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
Homebrew appears to install to: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Apple provides a tool to help ease setting $JAVA_HOME, but I assume it looks in the apple installations only: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17885494/how-can-i-change-mac-oss-default-java-vm-returned-from-usr-libexec-java-home#answer-17886334
