Starting up the Java extension I get the following error:

Sorry, I don’t have the Java setup ready. After I installed the latest Oractle JDK (11) and I added the JAVA_HOME variable set the error went away.

@Ghack9 @tails618 A simple way is to configure it in the VS Code User Settings. You could open User Settings via shortcut below, then search java.home and set your JDK installation directory to the java.home setting.

macOS: ⌘ + ,
