Description
Extension: Language Support for Java (Red Hat)
OS: Ubuntu Linux
The extension tells me again that it runs out of memory. This is quite strange as I am developing a very small Java Module here and it already has increased the memory limit. It had been increased to 2G and now it has been increased to 4G by some kind of logic trying to compensate.
There seems to be a fundamental flaw in the Language Server, if 4 GByte of memory is required for something little as developing a small Java package.
Bug No. 1: The memory issue (see above).
Bug No. 2: To have to restart the whole VSCode IDE in order to compensate for this.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the repeated out-of-memory failure on Ubuntu with the Language Support for Java extension in the reported small Java module, comparing the 2 GB and 4 GB limits. Trace the extension or language-server memory behavior and the need to restart VS Code; the issue is done when both reported failures have a verified cause and a documented resolution.
