    Tomcat requires the JDK. Set the path to your %JAVA_HOME%/bin where the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to your JDK.

    EDIT:

    From Apache’s site, to expand on the environment variable for Windows:

    Set JAVA_HOME.
    Set this environment variable to point at the top-level
    of your Java installation directory (e.g., C:\Program
    Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21).
