java.configuration.runtimes in settings.json are ignored

See original GitHub issue

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

Operating System: Ubuntu linux 20.10
JDK version: several – 1.8, 16
Visual Studio Code version: 1.52.1
Java extension version: v0.78.0

Steps To Reproduce

Open VS Code
Open settings preferences
Enter/search for: java.configuration.runtimes
Enter name and path for different JDK-s
Nominate a default

There is no project yet – I can’t even establish a session with the JDK of choice. Also the plugin goes off and finds some Java JDK-s that are not the ones I wish to use. There does not seem to be any place were I can say what I need to use in the project.

Please attach logs

This gave me the following error:

Command 'Java: Open Java Language Server Log File' resulted in an error (command 'java.open.serverLog' not found)

Current Result

JDK-s configured do not show in the ‘Configure Java Runtime’ on any tab.

Expected Result

I at least wanted to see the Java versions I entered show up as project JDK-s
I would also like them to show in the list of “instaled Java-s”
I would like a place where I can explicitly specify which Java versions I want the Java Plugin to recognise – ALL those I want to use at a particular time and No Other JDK-s even if there are installed.
- Not all the relevant JDK-s are available in “expected” locations

Hello, This proposition will be very helpful. When one has several java projects not managed by build tools, requiring different versions of java (e.g. 1.8 versus 11), it is very annoying to have to change the default runtime each time one switch from one project to the other. Also, this can provide a good solution to #1684 when not using the build tools.

A similar proposition was made for https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues/1555 by @n-peugnet

Just adding some noise here to bump up the priority of the issue. It would be super useful to have this setting workspace-configurable! Seems like it should be a quick fix, I’d be happy to chip in a PR if someone could give a starting pointer.
