The applied fix allows tomcat5.5 to run with openjdk-6-jdk, however it
is not enough to make it accept openjdk-6-jre for running (which is the
title of this bug).

There is a check in tomcat5.5.init that ensures that the chosen JVM is a
JDK and not a JRE. That check needs to be removed if you want to support
running with a JRE (using libecj-java as the JSP compiler).

See

for a patch.
