Description

The buitin java is downloaded, but don't execute on nixos!? all the file is there...

extension output:
[Error - 2:55:46 PM] Language Support for Java client: couldn't create connection to server. Launching server using command /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java failed. Error: spawn /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java ENOENT

buitin java folder:
ls /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/
jar java javadoc jcmd jdb jdeps jhsdb jinfo jmap jpackage jrunscript jstack jstatd rmiregistry jarsigner javac javap jconsole jdeprscan jfr jimage jlink jmod jps jshell jstat

what happens when executing:
$ /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java
bash: /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java: cannot execute: required file not found

on a forum a man is saying that he get errors many times but the install succed if he "sudo" vscode [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/setting-up-java-dev-env-vscode-with-redhat-java/2222]

Environment

Research direction

Start with the extension output and the bundled binary at /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java, then reproduce the reported shell execution on NixOS. Compare that behavior with the listed VS Code, Java extension, and JDK versions. Done means the bundled Java launches on the reported environment and the Java language server connects successfully.
