In order to know the Java HOME Path on your Mac, you can execute the java_home command-line utility available on macOS under /usr/libexec/
Example:
Code2care@Mac % /usr/libexec/java_home
/Users/c2ctech/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-20/Contents/Home
As you can see that my Java HOME is set to be that of OpenJDK-20 (i.e. Java JDK 20)
