You can configure where Jenkins/Hudson should search for the JDK on the slave on the slave configuration page.

Check "Tool Locations", Click "Add", select the JDK from the List and type the path to the JDK in the "Home" text field below.

If JDK isn't showing up in the Tool Locations list, it may be because you need to configure a JDK globally first. To do this, check the "JDK" section in your global configuration page.
