I can confirm this problem exists with version 5.5.17-1ubuntu1. The error is:
Could not start Tomcat 5 servlet engine because no Java Development Kit (JDK) was found. Please download and install JDK 1.3 or higher and set JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/tomcat5.5 to the JDK's installation directory. It can be fixed to work out-of-the-box by changing the value of JDK_DIRS in /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5: JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-blackdown /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj /usr/lib/kaffe" /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun originally wasn't listed here, but it is the current location of Sun's JDK. -- Will not install correctly. https://launchpad.net/bugs/69042 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
