jpy does not work with JAVA_HOME set via jenv

[chipkent]

jenv is a mac utility for switching between different java versions. jenv has an export plugin to set the JAVA_HOME to the selected version.

See here for details on enabling the export plugin.

When using jenv plus the export plugin, the JAVA_HOME does not work with jpy.
The JAVA_HOME is a symlink. Possibly this is causing problems.
If JAVA_HOME is set to <JAVA_HOME_from_jenv>/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home, then jpy works properly.

Hello,

Have you checked your JENV_FORCEJAVAHOME and JENV_FORCEJDKHOME environment variables?

Hi, the hint about JAVA_HOME being a symlink bit me as well. I am using homebrew to manage openjdk and had to set my JAVA_HOME to be /opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@17/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home for it to work properly on my machine
