Rather than pointing at the specific version like that, you should make  
use of the symbolic links in  
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework:

  Classes -> Versions/CurrentJDK/Classes
  Commands -> Versions/CurrentJDK/Commands
  Headers -> Versions/Current/Headers
  Home -> Versions/CurrentJDK/Home
  JavaVM -> Versions/Current/JavaVM
  Libraries -> Versions/CurrentJDK/Libraries
  Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources

These will always point to the current version.

So to find classes.jar, you should use:

  /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Classes/classes.jar
