can't choose jdk or jre at setup

           Summary: can't choose jdk or jre at setup
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I used to have JBuilder on my machine.  It got its paws into my windows 
registry.  I have removed the program since, but it left jdk/jre information in 
my registry.

The problem I'm having with Tomcat is that it chose a jdk/jre when it 
installed, without letting me specify a different one.  In this case, I assume 
it pulled the information from the registry...as a result, when it tries to 
compile JPSs, it fails because that jre doesn't actually exist, and I get a 
ClassNotFoundException.

I'll be able to get around this (I hope), but it's a major hassle than can 
easily be avoided in the future by allowing the installer to choose the jdk/jre 
location.  Maybe an improvement in jdk locator code would be to check for a 
windows JAVA_HOME environment variable first, since this would generally be a 
better guess at what the user wants.
