How to define GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS?

My goal is to use one of the google cloud API's, for which I need that GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is set to a .json file.

I receive this error message and a link on how to solve it:

The Application Default Credentials are not available. They are available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined pointing to a file defining the credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.

After setting the variable through cmd (set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=C:\...\...\File.json) to the .json file that I have just created, the same exact error continues appearing.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

I'm using Eclipse JEE. I want to detect web entities from a local image using google cloud vision API. First using a html formulary I request the image and send it to a servlet class: (index.html)

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>Tittle</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome!</h1>
    <h4>Upload an image: </h4>
    <div id="searchDiv">
        <form id="searchForm" action="webdetection" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            <div><input type="file" name="image" accept=".JPG, .JPEG, .PNG8, .PNG24, .GIF, .BMP, .WEBP, .RAW, .ICO, .PDF, .TIFF" required>
            </div>
            <div><input type="submit" name="searchBtn" value="Aceptar">
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

These are the servlets and their mappings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    version="2.5">
    <servlet>
        <web:description></web:description>
        <servlet-name>Web Detection</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>aiss.controller.google_vision.VisionServletController</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Web Detection</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/webdetection</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

This is the Servlet for cloud vision:

package aiss.controller.google_vision;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import aiss.model.CloudVision.DeteccionWeb;

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;

public class VisionServletController extends HttpServlet {
    
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(VisionServletController.class.getName());
    
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException {
        
        log.log(Level.FINE, "Processing GET request");
        PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(resp.getOutputStream());
        try {
        resp.setContentType("text/plain");
        DeteccionWeb.detectWebDetectionsGcs(req.getRequestURL().toString(),ps);
        }catch(Exception e) {
            ps.println(e.toString());//this prints the previous error message I show
        }

    }
}

And the web detection class at which the servlet redirects: (most of the imports aren't being used, but due to the class is being modified until it works, I don't know which classes I need)

package aiss.model.CloudVision;

      requests.add(request);

      try (ImageAnnotatorClient client = ImageAnnotatorClient.create()) {
        BatchAnnotateImagesResponse response = client.batchAnnotateImages(requests);
        List<AnnotateImageResponse> responses = response.getResponsesList();

        for (AnnotateImageResponse res : responses) {
          if (res.hasError()) {
            out.printf("Error: %s\n", res.getError().getMessage());
            return;
          }

          // Search the web for usages of the image. You could use these signals later
          // for user input moderation or linking external references.
          // For a full list of available annotations, see http://g.co/cloud/vision/docs
          WebDetection annotation = res.getWebDetection();
          out.println("Entity:Id:Score");
          out.println("===============");
          for (WebEntity entity : annotation.getWebEntitiesList()) {
            out.println(entity.getDescription() + " : " + entity.getEntityId() + " : "
                + entity.getScore());
          }
          for (WebLabel label : annotation.getBestGuessLabelsList()) {
            out.format("\nBest guess label: %s", label.getLabel());
          }
        }
      }
    }
}

My main suspect is ImageSource.newBuilder().setImageUri(gcsPath), as it seems cloud vision API may not work on http/https url's that doesn't belong to Google cloud storage. And it seems it can be solved with the credentials, but I can't pass through it.
