Hi,

I have a problem when running logstash-keystore

Windows command line:

`bin\logstash-keystore create`

Does not work and returns the information:

> "Using boundled JDK:"  
> Cannot find Java 1.5 or higher

However...

`bin\logstash` from the same command console works fine....

Why can `bin\logstash` work properly but `bin\logstash-keystore` doesn't anymore?

Logstash version 7.12.0  
Logstash works on Windows 10.

On this system logstash itself works fine. I just wanted to generate a keystore using logstash-keystore and this is the one place where I have a problem.
