the $(...) part is evaluated and its output then substituted, so the
pexp effectively is
/usr/local/jdk-11/bin/java .*org.opensearch.bootstrap.Opensearch.*
You can double-check by just copy-pasting pexp="$(...) ..." in a shell
and then dumping the value of pexp, for e.g.: echo $pexp
Just like you've found, you may get a slightly different java path
depending on what you've set JAVA_HOME to.
(maybe javaPathHelper could strip extra / at the end; it would have
prevented this issue.)
