Default JDK not updated after changing java.home

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

VSCode Java extension seems to raise error while using var data type (type inference for local variables was introduced way back with Java 10). Running the project also seems to fail while using var datatype.

There’s absolutely no problem with my Java environment. Compiling and running the same Java file using javac and java succeeds in command line. This works fine with IntelliJ IDEA as well. Please check the screenshots of the error and Configure java runtime.

Is there some setting or configuration I need to change?

Java environment details:

java 13.0.2 2020-01-14
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 13.0.2+8)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 13.0.2+8, mixed mode, sharing)

Error

Configure java runtime - JDK 13

@hkuadithya You can also try to call Java: Clean the Java language server workspace

@fbricon @snjeza Looks like this is an isolated case/issue which occurs under some weird set of circumstances. I couldn’t find any other issues resembling this under Open Issues. You folks could focus more time and resources on this if similar issues are opened in future.

I will close this issue for now. Thank you for investigating this. Please reopen if this warrants further investigation.
