You have a *server* JVM installed on Windows XP?  Want to verify that?

Why would you expect that?  This is a service, not a user logon environment.

Never; again, this is a service, so there are no environment variables.

Please give a specific example of how this might be useful.

There has never been such a dependency.  Several years ago, there was a 
requirement to have tools.jar accessible in order to compile JSPs, but that is 
long gone.
