Hi, somehow I don't get it. Why not simply assume that JAVA_HOME is properly set on every environment you want to run Tomcat? You need a proper Java installation anyway. Then there should not be any need to "configure" JAVA_HOME yourself.
It looks different in case you want to get independend also from pre-installed JDKs. In this case you could put Tomcat and JDK onto the stick and simply edit catalina.bat to set a relative path from your tomcat startup script to your stick's VM. So no need to determine drive letters. By the way, catalina.bat gives a good example how to do DIRECTORY = `cd` ;-) DOS-style. Just read how catalina.bat guesses CATALINA_HOME there.
