JAVA_HOME, asdf and jdtls

[Cletip]

Hello,

I am with ubuntu and I have installed, with asdf, openjdk version "16.0.2" 2021-07-20.

Moreover, when I do the command
echo $JAVA_HOME
I have the following result:
/home/user/.dotfiles/.asdf/installs/java/openjdk-16.0.2
Which is for me quite normal.

Moreover, I can compile and launch a java program.

However, when I try to install jdtls with the following command: lsp-install-server jdtls, I get this error:
JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.

Complete error: 
sh mvnw -Djdt.js.server.root=/home/user/.dotfiles/.emacs.d/var/lsp-java/eclipse.jdt.ls/server/ -Djunit.runner. root=/home/user/.dotfiles/.emacs.d/var/lsp-java/eclipse.jdt.ls/test-runner/ -Djunit.runner.fileName=junit-platform-console-standalone. jar -Djava.debug.root=/home/user/.dotfiles/.emacs.d/var/lsp-java/eclipse.jdt.ls/server/bundles clean package -Djdt.download.url=https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones/1.5.0/jdt-language-server-1.5.0-202110191539.tar.gz
Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
We cannot execute

Thanks in advance for your future answers

That's works perfectly ! Thanks you a lot, really ! I post the solution here :

(use-package exec-path-from-shell
:config
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)
)

Had the same issue on MacOS with zsh and homebrew-installed Emacs. What worked for me is moving the export JAVA_HOME... to the ~/.zshenv file instead of the ~/.zshrc. Apparently the latter one is intended for configuring an interactive shell and Emacs does not make use of it.
