yep, exactly. 

JDT requires the compiler bootclasspath to be set explicitly.
We don't fork the compiler process and need to know the bootclasspath of a given JDK without running the compiler in it (where it would be known as ${java.home}).

Why ${java.home} for a JDK started in $JDK_HOME seems to be mostly $JDK_HOME/jre is IMHO an implementation detail we can't really rely on.
Hence "heuristics".
