Description
The extension often fails to load inside of a GitHub codespace. When this happens, the Java Project panel doesn't show up, none of the language server features work, and trying to run any of the Java: commands on the command palette shows an error command 'java.<command>' not found
Environment
- Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
- JDK version: openjdk 17.0.7
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.78.2
- Java extension version: v1.18.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Open a GitHub codespace with the Language Support for Java(TM) extension installed
- If you're unlucky, the extension will not load properly, causing the previously mentioned errors
I was not able to get any logs because trying to run Java: Open All Log Files results in command 'java.open.logs' not found

Research direction
Start with the reported GitHub Codespaces reproduction using Ubuntu 20.04, JDK 17.0.7, VS Code 1.78.2, and Java extension v1.18.0. Investigate why extension activation intermittently fails, then verify that the Java Project panel, language-server features, Java commands, and log-opening command work when the issue is fixed.
