For JAVA_HOME it should be C:\java, but on your Path variable, it should point to C:\java\bin\ since Path is what is used to tell the Command Prompt where to look for executables.

You may want to try %JAVA_HOME%\bin to keep it consistent. Whether it works would depend on which one is set first.

Is the backslash required?

Forward slash should be fine as well but I haven't tested it. Honestly with the newer versions of Windows, I'd be shocked if it didn't work fine with either slash
