Description
Hi,
From the description of java.home, it stated "absolute path....". Is there any possibility to support relative path? A good use case is that when we configure as relative path, we can check in our setting file to source control to share with rest of other co-developer, who would have the jdk in the same relative path (but not necessarily same absolute path)

Research direction
Start by locating the java.home setting and the code that resolves its configured path. Check how the extension currently handles the documented absolute path, then determine the relative-path base and verify that shared settings work for developers with the same relative JDK location while absolute paths remain supported.
