Current Result

The consumer was configured to find a runtime of a library compatible with Java 11, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally, as well as attribute 'org.gradle.plugin.api-version' with value '7.6.1' but:

Expected Result

No error while running Spring Boot projects generated by Spring Initializr. This works on other IDE's.

Additional Informations

Start by reproducing the Spring Initializr Gradle-Groovy project in VS Code with Debian 11, JDK 17, and the listed extension version. Check why the Gradle consumer requests Java 11 while Spring Boot 3.0.6 requires Java 17; done means the generated project opens without the variant-resolution error.
