There's no such a thing as a COMMON "default jvm" in linux/BSD platforms targeted by tar.gz distribution. We are doing this for mac os and windows where this is possible. If you have some practical suggestions on how to do this - feel free to participate.
Okay Then it would be a great idea to create an installer, like NetBeans determines the default jvm during installation. I am a new Linux user, so I might be mistaken, but there is such a command "update-alternatives --config java" which is used to set the default jvm. Or this can be applied only to Ubuntu distro, I do not know fore sure.
Commonly JDK_HOME in linux will be /usr (note absence of trailing slash) - I've got the same value too, so you can check this special case only and fallback to default behavior if check failed.
What is your OS and what Web IDE distribution you have used?
I am running Ubuntu 9.10.
Than as a linux user I guess you should know how to export
environment variable JDK_HOME to make it "used in the future" for your profile?Yes, I've already done that. But it would be a good feature to make IDE define the default jvm on its own.

OKay, thanks for feedback. We do have some plans to improve linux distro eventually.
