Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 13

### What happened

VS Code 1.66.2 (MacOS 12.3.1) and [Apache Netbeans Language Server](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ASF.apache-netbeans-java) v13.0.301.

When launching a test from the Test Explorer (left-hand sidebar in VS Code), either run or debug, netbeans.jdkhome is ignored which causes maven project build failures if warnings as errors is enabled:

```
Changes detected - recompiling the module!
Compiling 15 source files to .../src/app/target/test-classes
-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPILATION WARNING :
-------------------------------------------------------------
system modules path not set in conjunction with -source 11
1 warning
```

I have my netbeans.jdkhome set to JDK11 at `/usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home` but when launching the test, in the terminal output I can see it's not using that:
```sh
cd .../src/app; JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-18.jdk/Contents/Home /Users/stewartadam/.vscode/extensions/asf.apache-netbeans-java-13.0.301/nbcode/java/maven/bin/mvn -Dtest=... process-test-classes surefire:test
Scanning for projects...
```

### How to reproduce

1. Install Language Server extension to VS Code
2. Open Java project with JUnit tests in VS Code
3. Click Test Explorer and run or debug tests

No

### Operating System

MacOS 12.3.1

### JDK

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with a Java project containing JUnit tests by launching a test from VS Code's Test Explorer. Inspect the generated Maven command and environment, then verify that both run and debug launches use the configured netbeans.jdkhome JDK instead of the system JDK; done when the Maven test build no longer reports the mismatched-JDK warning.
