Settings for JAVA_HOME in Tomcat located in /etc/environment
Just a note for anybody wondering how to set JAVA_HOME permenantly in Tomcat, the settings are located in /etc/environment
Though a hint is given on the turnkey tomcat page, it's not clear where these settings are.
[EDIT] I added a note to the help file located at /docs/tomcat-apache
Could a Moderator delete this topic?

Good on you for adding to the wiki
Reply 1modify file /etc/environment for use openjdk 1.6
Reply 2set JAVA_HOME as follow:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64"
But we may as well leave this here too. Having too much info or info available in various places doesn't hurt I don't think.
