B.

Yet that's apparently where it went looking for the JRE.

The path was incorrect. The second location is exported from
~/.bash_profile:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm/bin/java

Might the exported name be incorrect?

I also added to ~/.bash_profile this line:
JAVAPATH=$HOME:/usr/lib64/jvm/bin/java:$PATH

Perhaps.

Each day I log in to the workstation in the morning and log out in the
evening so my first attempts to run dbeaver-ce were in a fresh login.

After upgrading openjdk from 7.0.4 to 7.1.0 I did logout/login. Still the
same message from dbeaver-ce:
"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Dbeaver. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/opt/dbeaver-ce/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH"

Thanks,
