Additional Informations
I was wondering if there was a way to make a single project run java programs using JDK 8. I have already put this specific JDK in java.configuration.runtimes but I am not seeing the status bar icon to change the Java Language Level. I have gotten it to work by setting default to true for the JDK I want to use in java.configuraiton.runtimes but I was wondering if there was a way to do this that didn't involve changing my settings for all projects.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the per-project behavior of java.configuration.runtimes and the Java Language Level status bar control described in the issue. Confirm whether a project-specific JDK 8 selection is supported in Visual Studio Code 1.47.3 with Java extension 0.65.0; done means documenting the supported setting or identifying the missing capability.
