Oh my, I got confused now :) So, if we dont need JDK; why cannt I start the server w/o having specified exactly a path to JDK. With only JRE_HOME specified it doesnt start.
So, is it only "good" to have JDK_HOME, or it is a "must" ? --- Konstantin Kolinko <[email protected]> schrieb am Do, 21.7.2011: Von: Konstantin Kolinko <[email protected]> Betreff: Re: Tomcat 7: Why is JDK needed ?

All currently supported versions (5.5, 6.0, 7.0) do not use JDK compiler by default even if it is available. See documentation for details. All of them can run with JRE. It is good to have JDK around because of additional utilities like jvisualvm etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
