can't recognize JAVA_HOME while its value was set

See original GitHub issue

I have this error message:

JAVA_HOME or PATH environment variable seems to point to a JRE. A JDK is required, hence Boot Hints are unavailable.

notice that I have set these settings in vs code settings.json

{
...
    "java.home": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-12-openjdk",
    "spring-boot.ls.java.home": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-12-openjdk",
...
}

Thank you @martinlippert and @kdvolder for your feedback.
