I have a travis build using

```
language: java
jdk: openjdk12

```

Everything is working fine during normal builds, but when I debug the build, the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable is set to an older JDK version.

Normal build:  
echo $JAVA\_HOME  
/home/[secure]/openjdk12

Debug build:  
echo $JAVA\_HOME  
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

I could find this related [issue](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/8006) (already closed)

Could you copy/paste a link to your latest build where this is working in normal/non-debug mode?
