For Eclipse at least, the location of used jar files (including the main 
rt.jar) is configured in the project settings. I recall Eclipse having 
settings to let you choose which of the available JDK/JREs to use. I 
imagine this is found in part by searching for well-known install 
locations, and letting a developer switch between multiple installed 
JDKs is useful for a Java IDE.

It is possible in a running Java program to find the directory of the 
current JRE (System.getProperty("java.home")), as well as the class path 
in use (System.getProperty("java.class.path")).
