Some people have lots of things that use Java besides Tomcat, thus something like JAVA_HOME comes in handy.

As always, YMMV. :)

This is a basic unix question, not specific to tomcat. Without going into technical details, I would say environment variables are one way to define these properties. There are other ways, e.g. in your configuration files.
yes, I know that, but I just wondered why everyone defines them as environment variables.. I see it more tidy to define them in configuration files...
just my opinion..
