Android Command line tools sdkmanager always shows: Warning: Could not create settings

by

I use the new command line tools for Android because the old sdk-tools repository of Android isn’t available anymore. So I changed my gitlab-ci to load the commandlintools. But when I try to run it I get the following error:

Warning: Could not create settings
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCliSettings.<init>(SdkManagerCliSettings.java:428)
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCliSettings.createSettings(SdkManagerCliSettings.java:152)
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCliSettings.createSettings(SdkManagerCliSettings.java:134)
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli.main(SdkManagerCli.java:57)
    at com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli.main(SdkManagerCli.java:48)

I already tried executing those commandy by hand, but I get the same error. Also if I run sdkmanager --version, the same error occurs.
My gitlab-ci looks like:

image: openjdk:9-jdk

variables:
  ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK: "29"
  ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS: "29.0.3"
  ANDROID_SDK_TOOLS:   "6200805"
