In my tests, Gradle only needs JAVA_HOME.

But would it be more consistent/safer to also set the PATH env var?

My understanding is that JAVA_HOME should be all that is needed (or, more strictly: either will work; both is redundant but won't break anything; setting JAVA_HOME is a little cleaner because it only affects the Java configuration).

I agree with only using JAVA_HOME, but according to the runner documentation, the environment variable ends with _X64 even on the ARM64 runners.

Oh, I see it's different on the macOS runner. In that case, I'm fine with this PR as long as the README is updated as mentioned below.
