Developer Tools JBoss and Tomcat Do Not Start After Installing Java 1.4.2 Update

Q: How do I re-enable JBoss and Tomcat to work after installing the Java 1.4.2 Update?

A: The run.conf script for starting the JBoss server has a hardcoded reference to the 1.4.1 JVM. Installing the Java 1.4.2 Update removes the Java 1.4.1 installation, and JBoss/Tomcat services will not be able to start.

To re-enable JBoss and Tomcat the reference below should be changed in the file: /Library/JBoss/3.2/bin/run.conf

from:
JAVA=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.1/Home/bin/java

to:
JAVA=/usr/bin/java
