Description

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment
  • Operating System: arch linux
  • JDK version: 16
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.60
  • Java extension version: 0.82

There is java.configuration.runtimes with default:true option to select default runtime. However I have a gradle project where extension tries to use JDK 16, instead of 8. java.configuration.runtimes are not supported to be set locally

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Java extension reads java.configuration.runtimes and selects a runtime for Gradle projects. Verify the behavior with the reported Arch Linux, JDK 16, and JDK 8 setup; done means a project can set its runtime locally without changing the global default.
