New requirement of -Dcatalina.base? [TC4-RC1]

[Michael Rimov <ri...@centercomp.com>]

Hello All,

[Super minor quibble]

While migrating to the new catalina, I see that when starting it up from 
with my debugger (jbuilder4) that things won't run unless I set 
catalina.base.  Since the batch files properly set catalina.base = 
cataline.home if catalina.base is included, is there any reason why this 
can't happen in the code too?

I'm thinking that it will save a batch of posts to the tomcat-users list of 
people having the latest tomcat break on them when they're using their 
debuggers.

Any thoughts?  Again, this is a minor usability quibble, as I like Tomcat 4 
very much!

There is a third env variable which can be set: 'user.dir'. It is used in
the code to set the value of catalina.home and catalina.base if either is
not set.

Good idea.  This was done inconsistently, so I've updated the code for the
various standard ways to start Tomcat 4 -- now, it will always set
"catalina.base" from "catalina.home" unless you explicitly set it to
something else.

Michael, I should have given you credit for this in the commit message ...
sorry.
