Description
In VSCode, when Community Server Connector starts, the output shows many lines like:
17:30:35.171 [unch RSP Server] WARN o.j.t.r.s.f.FileWatcherService:206 - Watchservice requires high sensitivity on this system. Unfortunately it isn't present and thus watching the filesystem is unreliable. Please use openjdk or a sun jvm to allow us to use high sensitivity.
I believe it's using openjdk 11.
What could be done to solve this?

Start by reproducing the warning in VSCode when Community Server Connector starts with OpenJDK 11, then trace the FileWatcherService warning shown in the output. Determine why high-sensitivity filesystem watching is unavailable and define the change needed so watching is reliable without this warning.
