 	Have several production tomcat servers under sun-jre15 (previously
 	sun-jre14) on NetBSD boxes.

 	Try setting JAVA_HOME to /usr/pkg/java/sun-1.4

 	For reference, 'pkg_info -L sun-jre14' will list all the paths
 	in sun-jre14.

 	I also have pkg_alternatives installed which gives me a java
 	in /usr/pkg/bin/java
