This is news to me; do you have a quick link to the policy section that
covers this? I have a hard time imagining why setting JAVA_HOME would
be against policy and how that is to be worked around, since most J2EE
app servers request that JAVA_HOME be set and a number of tools also
require this. It's not that I doubt it; I just need to read up on it,
and if you have a quick link I'd appreciate it.
