Hi it seems the JAVA\_ENV variable is set:  
ENV JAVA\_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8-openjdk

but when I run docker run --rm [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.0](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.4.0) ls /usr/lib/jvm

It only lists the following:  
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.131-2.b11.el7\_3.x86\_64  
jre  
jre-1.8.0  
jre-1.8.0-openjdk  
jre-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.131-2.b11.el7\_3.x86\_64  
jre-openjdk

should it actually be jre-1.8.0-openjdk?

Thank you for reporting this. It is a bug from the transition from Alpine to CentOS:7.

This has been addressed in [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker/pull/64#issuecomment-300527492](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker/pull/64#issuecomment-300527492) and acceptance tests have been added to avoid this in the future.

A fresh 5.4.0 image has been pushed including the fix.
