What is the value of $JAVA_HOME with gcr.io/distroless/java images?

    `docker run --rm -it --entrypoint env gcr.io/distroless/java:debug` doesn't show a `JAVA_HOME` and I don't know why it should be set: `java` is the entry point anyway. Just point it at the necessary jars. `JAVA_HOME` is [widely misunderstood](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69735512/why-can-i-use-javac-java-without-having-java-home-set) and not nearly as necessary as many people think. – Generous Badger Jan 13 '22 at 10:30

$JAVA_HOME is not defined for gcr.io/distroless/java.

Note, you can find the Java system files at /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/.
