AFAIK, HEAD no longer requires a JDK and can run with the JRE ?  M4 requires the JDK.

It may be useful to allow Geronimo to run under the JDK as AFAIK the JDK's rt.jar has debug info for the classes (except the sun classes) but the JRE's rt.jar doesn't (see difference in size of JAR).  I'm not sure whether there is much of an impact on performance using the debug enabled (JDK) classes at class loading time compared with the JRE.

Considering that most people have JAVA_HOME pointing to their JDK (due to other tools they have installed), should we use JRE_HOME by default (if it is set) and provide a parameter to switch to using JAVA_HOME for the JDK?
