Hi  
Elastic 7.5.1 was installed from tar.gz  
Config is :  
export ES\_HOME=/var/vcap/jobs/elasticsearch  
export ES\_PATH\_CONF=${ES\_HOME}/config  
I have following issue  
Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /var/vcap/jobs/elasticsearch/config/jvm.options  
at java.base/sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:92)

jvm.options locates in /var/vcap/packages/elasticsearch/config/jvm.options

I have config files in /var/vcap/jobs/elasticsearch/config/  
/var/vcap/jobs/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml  
Also In elasticsearch 5.2.2 I didn't face this issue . It looks like 5.2.2 didn't need jvm.options at all.

So question is how can I use jvm.options from another location as elasticsearch.yml?

Yes, this was a deliberate change made in 6.0. The breaking changes documentation notes that [`ES_JVM_OPTIONS` is no longer supported](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/breaking_60_packaging_changes.html#_literal_es_jvm_options_literal_is_no_longer_supported).

You cannot. All the config files should be kept together.
