I think we must distinct here between the environment variable JAVA_HOME
and the jvm system property "java.home". Whereas JAVA_HOME can be set
by the user to any value, the system property "java.home" always points
to the $JAVA_HOME/jre directory. This behaviour is specified by SUN.
I verified this on Windows with JDK 1.2.x and JDK 1.3.x.
Ant or the current build.xml uses the "java.home" property to get the
tools.jar which is simply wrong. So the patch is required.
