It should be unset. Also ideally, you have only ever one JRE installed.

Everything else is a nightmare.

To make this work with Java >8 and Maven, you’ll need¹…

	<profile>
		<id>jre-not-below-jdk</id>
		<activation>
			<file>
				<exists>${java.home}/bin/javadoc</exists>
			</file>
		</activation>
		<build>
			<plugins>
				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
					<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
					<configuration>
						<javadocExecutable>${java.home}/bin/javadoc</javadocExecutable>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</profile>

… or the Debian-patched version of the maven-javadoc-plugin.
