Description
Today we have no control about the java which is used to start a LS. Some LS could require Java17 and if user have not this JDK/JRE the start will fail.
It should be nice to:
- specify the minimal version of the JDK/JRE in the server extension point
- provide in the LS UI settings a combo with the available JRE/JDK according to the minimal version specifies in the extension point

Research direction
Start with the server extension point and LS UI settings described in the issue. Trace how a language server is currently started and how available JRE/JDK installations are discovered, then define the minimal-version filtering and selection behavior. Done means an extension can declare a minimum Java version and the UI can select a compatible runtime before starting the LS.
