Tested in clean Windows Sandbox on x64 Windows:

  1. Install current VSCode 1.106.1 (system)
  2. Install redhat.java extension (currently 1.48.0)
  3. Open Java file/new file with language set to java
  4. Observe error message:

    Java 21 or more recent is required to run the Java extension. Please download and install a recent JDK. You can still compile your projects with older JDKs by configuring 'java.configuration.runtimes'

My understanding is that this should have installed a win32-x64 embedded JRE and used that, as per https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/wiki/JDK-Requirements. It does not appear to have done so. I don't believe I've done anything to force a universal install; I am using the most obvious install link from the MS VSCode marketplace.

The same thing occurs when installing the extension as a dependency of the recommended vscjava.vscode-java-pack (Extension Pack for Java) from Microsoft. Also tested with both user and system VSCode installs with the same result.

    Stepping through previous versions it looks like 1.46.0 and 1.47.0 install a win32-x64 version as expected, while 1.48.0 does not:

    This sounds like it might be similar to #4254, except one version later and win32-x64 instead of linux-x64?

    Indeed, 1.48 universal was accidentally published, without platform specific versions, that embed a JRE to launch the Java Language Server. We'll be performing a proper release today to fix this.
