[xep-support] Java 1.8 broke my xep install

I'm currently running xep-4.22-2013-personal, and when I accepted
the Java 1.8.0_66 upgrade, it broke my xep install, and of course
it removed the 1.6 JRE that xep was using. I have the 1.8.0_66
JRE installed on my Mac running El Capitan (10.11.1).

What do I have to do to get it back running? Here is the ~/bin/xep
file I was using:

================================================================
#!/bin/sh

# XEP command-line

JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home"
XEP_HOME="/Users/john/XEP"

CP="$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:\
$XEP_HOME/lib/xep.jar:\
$XEP_HOME/lib/saxon6.5.5/saxon.jar:\
$XEP_HOME/lib/saxon6.5.5/saxon-xml-apis.jar:\
$XEP_HOME/lib/xt.jar"

"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" \
     -classpath "$CP" \
     "-Dcom.renderx.xep.CONFIG=$XEP_HOME/xep.xml" \
     com.renderx.xep.XSLDriver "$@"
----------------------------------------------------------------

My first problem is that I have no idea where JAVA_HOME should
be with the new install.

Life without xep is extremely difficult for me! I use DocBook
every day all day and I depend on the PDF rendering. What
do you suggest I do?
