Is there a way to set the default java path for karaf without using the JAVA_HOME environment variable?
E.g. one of the settings files?
I have another application that requires the JAVA_HOME variable set to a diffrent version of jre and can't repoint the path for this.
Karaf is currently being run as a Windows service and the console is accessed via client.bat
You mentioned you are are running karaf as Windows service, so I guess you are using Wrapper
In the Wrapper configuration file change the default JRE/JDK path and restart your karaf application.
