JDK installation parameters

You can configure EAServer to use the JDK versions described in “JDK versions”. For each JDK version, you can install the JDK, use an existing installation, or not use that JDK version at all.

The parameters in Table 3-3 allow you to configure the EAServer installation to use JDK installations that are already in place, rather than installing JDKs with the EAServer installation.
