Tool installers are inheriting a confusing help message from Jenkins core that refers to a non-existent configurable location.
According to jglick - the UI for ToolInstaller intentionally hides the Tool.home field since the precise location is normally determined automatically rather than explicitly configured.
This message seems to be obsolete and is being inherited from https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/core/src/main/resources/hudson/tools/InstallSourceProperty/help.html
This was originally noted about the NodeJS plugin, but it can also be seen in other installers, such as the Maven, Ant, Git, etc.
