# Specifies the path to Java home. The path defined will be used to resolve the
# java command location. Typically, the /bin/java or \bin\java.exe will be
# appended to this path to resolve the command location on *nix and windows
# respectively.
# If not specified the JAVA_HOME environment variable is used.
# If JAVA_HOME is also undefined, java command is directly used. In that case,
# java command must be defined in the PATH environment variable.
