Wrong Java runtime used JRE 11 vs. JRE 17

Wrong Java runtime used

Environment

• Operating System: ubuntu linux
• JDK version: Corretto-17.0.9.8.1
• Visual Studio Code version: latest
• Java extension version: latest and prerelease
• Java Debugger extension version: latest and prerealease

Steps To Reproduce

1. Trying to debug spring boot

No special launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "Launch Application",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "de.xxx.xxx.Application",
            "projectName": "xxx-application",
            "env": {
                "SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE": "debug",
            },
            "vmArgs": "-Xms128m -Xmx128m"
        }
    ]
}

Java Configure Runtime for Projects outputs wrong java version

Should be 17 (works on other enviroments - E.g. eclipse)

Current Result

Error: Unable to initialize main class de.ewe.gisatfuture.servicehub.Application
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/WebMvcConfigurer has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

Expected Result

Debugger should simply run

Additional Informations

Workaround: mvn spring-boot:run does work

Start by reproducing the Spring Boot debug launch using the shown launch.json and inspect the Java Configure Runtime for Projects output. Compare the JRE selected there with the JDK 17 environment and the runtime used by the debugger. Done means the debugger launches the application with JDK 17 instead of JRE 11.
