Summary:                    Find_Java fails to prioritize JAVA_HOME
Description: 
FindJava.cmake chooses the vewest version of Java instead of the one pointed by
the environment variable JAVA_HOME.

If there are several versions and the user targets a particular one, there's no
way to tell cmake.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. install several versions of jdk.
2. set JAVA_HOME to the oldest one
3. Run a cmake with Find(Java) and check the output

Additional Information: 
I could fix this by changing FindJava.cmake

from

set(_JAVA_HINTS
"[HKEY...]/bin"
[...]
$ENV{JAVA_HOME}/bin
)

to

set(_JAVA_HINTS
$ENV{JAVA_HOME}/bin
"[HKEY...]/bin"
[...]
)
