URGENT- "Java 11 or more recent is required to run. Please download and install a recent JDK"

See original GitHub issue

I don’t understand why today I’m getting this error. Managed to temporarily solve this by downgrading Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat to 0.64.1.

Environment

Operating System: Windows_NT x64 10.0.20161 (remote ssh to ubuntu 18)
JDK version: Open jdk 8
Visual Studio Code version: 1.47.2 (user setup)
Java extension version: 0.9.1
Java Debugger extension version: 0.27.1

If you are like me and don’t like to upgrade java version just to keep using the extension this is a simple trick you can do. Go to extensions, settings then install version 0.64.1 which still works fine with java8

Hey @seanGammage it seems like you can point to jdk 11 and it wouldn’t impact running the project, though I haven’t tried it as I am busy at the moment, and the downgrade was sufficient for me. To downgrade, you just have to go the java extension page and install another version and then reload.
