Hi ,  
I am trying to install neo4j enterprise version with 3 cores and 1 read replica with helm charts and Kustomization. My pods are not starting up and getting the below exception.

Sameer,  
I do not hava java on machine(if that was the question). Also, with base kustomize it works fine. when i try overlays it is giving above exception and pods not starting up. Also, to make things clear, I am installing this as kubernetes cluster(EKS) using helm charts given on neo4j site.
