Description
I noticed that this extension had stopped starting up right when I noticed that it didn't update the code highlighting and coloring on startup anymore. Version 1.35.0 of this extension does not perform any of the following:
- Applying correct Java-specific coloring to the text upon startup
- Applying red underlining to malformed function calls
- Applying blue underlining to TODO comments
- Highlighting all occurrences of the word underneath the cursor
There are probably even more missing features, but these are the ones I noticed. Under version 1.35.0, one of my simple code files looks like this:
Reverting to version 1.34.0 of the extension and then restarting my extensions immediately restores all lost functionality:
Environment:
- Operating System: Windows 11 Home, 23H2
- JDK version:
openjdk 22.0.2 2024-07-16 - Visual Studio Code version: 1.93.1

Research direction
Reproduce the regression with extension version 1.35.0 in VS Code 1.93.1 on Windows 11 using a Java file, then compare it with version 1.34.0. Check startup behavior for Java coloring, malformed-call underlining, TODO underlining, and occurrence highlighting; done means these features work again without reverting versions.
