patch

I'm integrating LiveRebel (http://liverebel.com) with Tomcat. I need a clean way how to get Tomcat scripts to start LiveRebel agent instead of Tomcat (the agent will be responsible for starting Tomcat).

Currently we are patching Tomcat scripts (catalina.sh/bat and setclasspath.sh/bat); however, that is messy, as every time user updates Tomcat, those changes get overwritten.

Instead, I would like to change the "java" executable that Tomcat scripts use to start Tomcat.

My current solution is to set _RUNJAVA environment variable in CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh/bat and then patch CATALINA_HOME/bin/setclasspath.sh/bat not to override the setting if already set (see the attached patch).
This solution is also described here:

Fixed in 8.0.x for 8.0.11 onwards and in 7.0.x for 7.0.56 onwards.

I modified the patch slightly so setclasspath.sh handled java and jdb separately.

The modified patch has been proposed for 6.0.x.
