   > Ah, OK, leave `-a` (if the `and` is required at all). I'd missed that it 
was used elsewhere - we should rethink them all at some point.

   The `"x" != "x${JAVA_HOME}"` idiom is used quite frequently, it is only true 
if the variable is set and is not zero length.
   
   I still think a check for `JAVA_HOME` being non-zero length without the 
additional `-x` check would be enough here anyway. I'm not sure an invalid 
`JAVA_HOME` should just be ignored.
   
   The rest of the java detection code checks to see if a java executable is 
present, I copied that.
   
   But I see your point, if JAVA_HOME is set incorrectly, it makes sense to 
just fail instead of ignoring it.
   I'm fine with it either way.
