Description
We need Java to run expansion services in subprocesses [1]. Currently this code always uses the "java" executable on the $PATH. But changing $PATH or adding an alias is a global(ish) change, and it's cumbersome, or even impossible in some environments (Forge). Having a pipeline option for it is easier and better isolated.
