JProbe on 4.9

[Daren Desjardins]

We finally got JProbe running properly using linux JDK 1.4.2 and a few
changes to JProbe. Firstly, there is a 'service pack' available from
Sitraka that is suppose to improve support for JDK 1.4.2. We applied
it(unzip to JProbe dir). Then had to modify the script for each JProbe
application (like bin/jpprofiler) adding the following to list of
supported OS's:

FreeBSD)
        platform_java_args="-Dxterm=/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
-Dxterm_secure=yes"
        xbin=/usr/X11R6/bin
        ;;

It just tells JProbe where to find xterm etc.

Then, when configuring JProbe for Tomcat integration, we had to have the
Server Directory and Catalina Base to be the same directory which was a
complete copy of Tomcat. We had tomcat setup in a shared environment
which was causing JProbe some issues (although it never reported any
errors, just died silently).

Thanks for all the suggestions
