Java runtime (JDK, not JRE) could not be located - but it is installed with sdkman

I am using sdkman to manage my sdk’s including java

The extension does not seem to acknowledge my java sdk, even though the sdk should be present

`sdk current java Using java version 8.0.212-zulu

echo $JAVA_HOME /home/USER/.sdkman/candidates/java/current

ls /home/USER/.sdkman/candidates/java/current ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION DISCLAIMER LICENSE sample bin include man src.zip CLASSPATH_EXCEPTION_NOTE jre readme.txt THIRD_PARTY_README demo lib release Welcome.html `

What does it look for?

try to set “java.home”:“/home/USER/.sdkman/candidates/java/current” in vscode’s settings.json

For anybody else at the time of writing I’ve noticed that “java.home” has a comment in the default settings saying: // This setting is deprecated, please use 'java.jdt.ls.java.home' instead.

So I set it as follows in settings.json and it seemed to work (using ~ is better as this should work for linux and mac):

"java.jdt.ls.java.home": "~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current",

I had no luck is trying to use java.configuration.runtimes 😦

I’m using VSCode version:
