Bug: Gradle build error: Supplied javaHome is not a valid folder. You supplied: /usr/local/sdkman/candidates/java/current

Environment:

• VS Code Version: 1.97.2
• Extension Version: 3.16.4
• JDK Type & Version: temurin, 21
• OS Type & Version: Linux

Step to Reproduce:

Use devcontainer (GitHub Codespaces)

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/java:21"
}

with a Gradle project

For example use this project: https://github.com/hfhbd/mavencentral and open it with GitHub Codespaces

Expected Behavior:
No issue when opening the Gradle project

Actual Behavior:

[info] [gradle-server] Gradle Server started, listening on 38591
[info] Gradle client connected to server

[error] Error getting build for /workspaces/mavencentral: Supplied javaHome is not a valid folder. You supplied: /usr/local/sdkman/candidates/java/current

Related Issues:

Reproduce the failure with the provided Java 21 devcontainer and the linked mavencentral Gradle project in GitHub Codespaces. Start from the Gradle server log and trace how /usr/local/sdkman/candidates/java/current is selected; done means the project opens without the invalid javaHome error.
