I updated to java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.2.fc20 today
(along with the java-1.7.0-openjdk-headless and java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
packages).  After the upgrade, nothing java related would run.  (not the
compiler, not the jar command, and I couldn't run any pre-built .jars.)
 The error was:

> Error occurred during initialization of VM
> java/lang/ClassFormatError: Unknown constant tag 99 in class file java/lang/Class

Downgrading back to java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20 et
al fixed the problem.
