Description

If JAVA_HOME isn't set setenv tries to detect it from the path of java. On FreeBSD this is /usr/local/bin/java, while java resides in /usr/local/openjdk8/. This leads to setting JAVA_HOME to a non existing path

It would be nice to have it autodetect correctly, but at least check if the guessed JAVA_HOME is really a JDK/JRE, so it can be set correctly manually.

Currently Karaf starts ok, but some functions that rely on a correct setting of JAVA_HOME fail with unrelated error messages (e.g. doing a https call only throws a premaster secret key error, because the Java ext dir is set incorrectly)
