Is it possible to load Java extensions on launch, rather than only when a Java file is clicked?

Description
hello,
I'm using the code-server package to give students a cloud-based VS-Code editor in a university setting and we're nearly there to a perfect solution.
The last remaining hiccup is that students have to click on a Java file to load all java-based extensions (see gif below), and as you can see it takes up to a couple of minutes to do this (we have user-reported data on this too).
Is there a setting I can enable in settings.json to autoload the Java extensions on launch, rather than waiting for users to click a Java file?
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing how the Java extensions are activated in VS Code and whether code-server supports a launch-time setting; done means identifying a supported configuration or defining and validating a change that loads them without opening a Java file.
