Package: tomcat7

Hi,
When the init script fails to find a Java environment to start Tomcat, it
reports an error "no JDK found". I was misguided by this since I had a
JRE installed and I thought that Tomcat was nonetheless requiring a JDK.
Attached patch ensures that the error message is more clear in this regard.
Thanks,
Thijs

Subject: [PATCH] When no Java found, mention JRE in error message.
Tomcat will run fine with just a JRE, the error may confuse people that
have a JRE installed that Tomcat is looking for a JDK, while in fact
it can't find their JRE.
