Hey Frode ,

I have done something similar for Jira ,

You will need to edit the setenv.sh file and insert on the first line

export JAVA_HOME=/path/for/your/jdk

if you are using windows server then edit setenv.bat .

Please try the above in your test environment and restart Confluence for the changes to take effect
