Description

On a new empty "Java with Gradle" project, when running with `run`:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("ENV1: " + System.getenv("JAVA_HOME"));
    System.out.println("ENV2: " + System.getenv("_"));
}

the result in the Output window is:

JAVA_HOME="/Users/$user/Downloads/jdk-11.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home"
cd /Users/$user/NetBeansProjects/gradleproject; ./gradlew --configure-on-demand -x check run
Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
> Task :compileJava
> Task :processResources NO-SOURCE
> Task :classes

> Task :run
ENV1: null
ENV2: /Users/$user/Downloads/jdk-11.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

So internally JAVA_HOME is set for NetBeans, but the project doesn't have access to it.

This might be a bug, as there is an environment variable named `_` that has the value expected for `JAVA_HOME`.

On a Maven project, `JAVA_HOME` is printed with the correct value, but `_` doesn't exist (as expected). This result is the also the expected for both Maven and Gradle projects on Windows.
