Jenv is not picking up the system installed java

I have jenv installed. The output of which java was initially /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java. I issues the following commands:

jenv add /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home
eval "$(jenv init -)"

Now, the output of which java is

/Users/my_username/.jenv/shims/java

The output of java -version is the same before and after. However, mvn clean install is throwing error:

Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
  We cannot execute /Users/my_username/.jenv/versions/system/bin/java

Why is maven not picking up the proper java?

jenv versions showed the current version was system. I am not sure why that version was not proper. I set the global version to 1.8.0.121 and everything is working as expected.

According to documentation eval "$(jenv init -)" should print to console some command which you need to execute (they suggest to add them to .bash_profile).
