Line number 7 should be changed to

if [[ -z ${JAVA_HOME+x} ]] || [[ ! -d ${JAVA_HOME} ]]; then

And you'll have to run this script as the root user. so better hardcode the JAVA_HOME at the beginning.

Thanks for spotting that, @rjshrjndrn - I've corrected the omission.

As for your comment that the script should be run as root user: yes, that is the usage envisaged by the upstream creator:
sudo ./import-letsencrypt-java.sh "$JAVA_HOME"

Ah, correct!!!
and where should we set $JAVA_HOME ?
So either it should be

 sudo JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java bash /import-letsencrypt-java.sh "$JAVA_HOME"

or

 sudo ./import-letsencrypt-java.sh /path/to/hava

@danielsz, does this fork help?

This looks great. Thank you, @richmilne.

Hi! I have adapted it to my needs and it works perfectly!
Thank you so much! @richmilne
