Description

Issue Type: Bug

Setup 'java.home' does not work in neither workspace's settings.json nor user's settings.json. I have two JDK installed on my laptop. In settings.json, I point 'java.home' to my JDK 11 folder. However, VS Code always use my JDK 8 for compile/build/run/debug. Only after I deleted JDK 8, VS Code begin to use my JDK 11.

I noticed that even I don't setup 'java.home', VS Code can still auto-detect my installed JDK and use it.

I don't have JAVA_HOME setup in my environment variables.
