Description

We are a team that's running the First Robotics Competition and we want to sync our code between different devices.
We chose GitHub codespaces since we already using GitHub.
Everything works fine except Java language support kind of not able to find java

We tried >add dev and add new java configuration to the codespace, but it didn't fix the problem

Is there any way to add Java to code spaces or let the extension recognize our local Java? That will be super helpful!

Start by reproducing the Java language support problem in a GitHub Codespace and inspect how the VS Code extension discovers Java there. Verify whether a Codespaces Java configuration is recognized; done means the extension can find Java and provide language support without relying on a local installation.
