Environment variables when uninstalling a package #4

To consider: when uninstalling package, PATH and other variables (e.g. JAVA_HOME) are not updated. They can be switched to other version with: devtool -setup but the problem is e.g. for JDKs. If you uninstall JDK that has been configured in JAVA_HOME, DevTool stops working. The solution could be to update path to any other (latest?) existing JDK. Or another idea: maybe DevTool should be delivered with its own, independent JDK - in this case we can also get rid of Java 9 issue.

It's well worth considering bundling a jdk with devtool. That will solve a couple a things.

Will be fixed by bundling a jdk. See #3
