Cannot recognize installed JDK on Windows 10 using Zulu OpenJDK 11

[federico-lox]

Problem Description

Running boot.exe results in:

This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.7.0
The registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted.

Leiningen (via lein.bat) works as expected on the exact same setup.
I was able to get boot working in bash (from the Git BASH distribution) using boot.sh, but boot.exe results in the message above using both cmd.exe and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download boot.exe - https://github.com/boot-clj/boot-bin/releases/download/latest/boot.exe
2. Put it in a path included in the PATH env variable
3. Launch cmd.exe or PowerShell
4. Run boot.exe
5. The message reported above appears and a browser window opens Oracle's JDK dowload page.

Getting the same error with adoptopenjdk 8 - openJ9. Even though java is on the path.

Known issue, nothing we can do about it at the moment. See #602

Hi,
i got boot 2.8.2 working on Windows 10 Pro 64bit with adoptopenjdk, both installed with scoop.

PS C:\Users\thomas> boot --version
#http://boot-clj.com

BOOT_VERSION=2.8.2
BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.8.0
BOOT_CLOJURE_NAME=org.clojure/clojure

PS C:\Users\thomas> java --version
openjdk 11.0.1 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.1+13)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM AdoptOpenJDK (build openj9-0.11.0, JRE 11 Windows 10 amd64-64-Bit Compressed References 20181115_19 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9   - 090ff9dcd
OMR      - ea548a66
JCL      - d4455071ce based on jdk-11.0.1+13)

i used a workaround from here and changed it like so:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
"CurrentVersion"="11.0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\11.0]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Users\\thomas\\scoop\\apps\\adoptopenjdk-openj9\\current"
"MicroVersion"="0"```

Put this stuff into a file like: thisreallysux.reg, then open regedit and import the file.
