Description

Original: 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.
