Work around conda-forge/openjdk-feedstock#107 #462

Open khaeru opened 1 year ago

conda-forge/openjdk-feedstock#107 results in JAVA_HOME pointing to a location that does not exist. This occurs on Windows.
This affects ixmp.JDBCBackend when it tries to start the JVM through JPype. Java cannot be located, and there are resulting messages like "No JVM shared library file (jvm.dll) found".
This only affects ixmp if OpenJDK is installed via conda.

This issue is to track the upstream one, record mitigations, and maybe discuss adjustments.

At https://github.com/iiasa/message_ix/issues/659#issuecomment-1277556174) one workaround was to install an older version of OpenJDK from conda-forge that is not affected by the bug.
Another work-around is probably to override the JAVA_HOME value from the conda package to point to the actual location of jvm.dll.
