--- Comment #4 from Zafar Ali <zafar...@gmail.com> --- Apple documentation suggests using /java_home utility to determine the JAVA_HOME http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1170/_index.html it suggests as "Another advantage of dynamically finding this path, as opposed to hardcoding the fixed endpoint, is that it is updated when a new version of Java..." Oracle also relying/using on the existing mechanism as they suggest using it at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html even though they suggested how to continue to use older apple versions of JDK executing /usr/libexec/java_home -X suggest that it maintains the plist for all installed jdk frameworks in osx terms. Other benifit of using java_home utlility, is its always available as i like to run tomcat via launchd, and i m sure all osx server installations will do -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
