Description
I followed the instructions in https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues/1140#issuecomment-889191080 but although it shows me the option to generate the uid, it always generates the short one.

My config:

Environment
- Operating System: Windows 11
- JDK version: openjdk version "17" 2021-09-14
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.63.2 899d46d82c4c95423fb7e10e68eba52050e30ba3 x64
- Java extension version: extension pack v.0.20.0

Start by reproducing the SerialVersionUID generation behavior in Visual Studio Code using the Java extension configuration and environment described in the issue. Compare the generated short UID with the expected configured format; done means the generate-UID action produces the intended full value.
