Bug Description

ec2 commands require that you set JAVA_HOME to find java.
Instead this just invoke 'java' from the path.
example:
$ ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon
/usr/bin/ec2-cmd: line 17: JAVA_HOME: JAVA_HOME is not set

The issue is in /usr/bin/ec2-cmd, where its final lines do:

CMD=$1
shift
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" $EC2_JVM_ARGS $cygprop -classpath "$CP" com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.$CMD "$@"

With such an easy workaround (export JAVA_HOME=/usr), this bug doesn't
really fit the criteria for Stable Release Updates
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

So, yes, it will likely remain broken in jaunty.
