To Reproduce
Try setting up Nativescript local build env on macOS.

Additional context
Same as #1813, solved with @ssimpo solution. I've seen the issue has been closed as being hijacked, but it still exists.

Hey guys,
Do you have Java installed on your machines before running the script? If yes, can you give us information about its version and how did you install the JDK.

Unfortunately I cannot remember exactly, but almost certainly via brew

maxxer on 22 Aug 2019

I had a few versions of Java installed on my system and was getting this same error. There's gotta be a way to ensure the script uses JDK8 if it's available but I resolved this problem by simply removing the other versions from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

I'm getting the same error when I try to install android sdk on macOS.
Using java 13

Edit: apparently installing android sdk without having java 8 set as default java jdk will result in an error

@mattquest, @createNull, thanks for your additional details and solutions.

The setup scripts used by the tns setup command are meant to be used in a clean environment and they are installing only your missing NativeScript dependencies.

We are intentionally skipping already configured dependencies like we've skipped the Java installation in your case.

In other words, this issue is a known limitation and if you already have Java installation specified in JAVA_HOME, the scripts will not install an additional Java and override the existing one as we do not want to break your local setup.
