As of Elasticsearch 7, we include [a bundled JDK](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.0/setup.html). You can specify your own JDK via `JAVA_HOME`, but that [doesn't seem to work](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/49068). Try unsetting the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable - in my CentOS system it was found in `/etc/environment` aside from the usual culprits.
