I want to install `x-pack` with custom `JAVA_HOME` path without getting conflicted with other applications.

If I install `Logstash-6.2.4` with custom java path and `x-pack` with application `JAVA_HOME` directory, am getting the following error.

// [2018-07-10T19:10:22,319][INFO][logstash.modules.scaffold] Initializing module {:module\_name=\>"fb\_apache", :directory=\>"/usr/share/logstash/modules/fb\_apache/configuration"}

[2018-07-10T19:10:22,343][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemExit) exit

To follow on this, I've also observed that when I do "yum remove" & re-install the Logstash am not seeing this error.

Is there a way that I can install `x-pack` without setting the `JAVA_HOME` path?
