Description

If a user has only opened a single Java file (no workspace folder), or a workspace folder with just a single Java file, it might make sense to recommend https://www.jbang.dev/ (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jbangdev.jbang-vscode).

This isn't about detecting a valid JBang file, but more about recommending they look into it's usage if they appear to be using Java to write a script.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating how vscode-java handles a single Java file without a workspace and where user recommendations are surfaced. Done means the extension recommends investigating JBang in the described single-file scenarios without trying to detect valid JBang files.
