I would suggest to set the target Java version instead, and use 
JAVA_HOME only in last resort. It is not only easier, but may also be 
safer since the compiler of old releases may have unfixed issues if 
unmaintained (e.g., javadoc generating HTML pages with a vulnerability 
in the JavaScript code). If a project cannot compile or run without a 
specific JAVA_HOME, it is probably because they are using internal API, 
which is a deprecated practice and normally not allowed anymore if they 
were using the Java Module system.
