Description
It would be awesome if the included JRE could be updated to a recent Java 25 runtime.
Background: the Spring Tools try to re-use the JDK that comes with vscode-java to avoid including its own JRE. Since we would like to start using specific JDK 25 features, I am wondering when vscode-java will update its internal JRE to 25... :-)
We could - of course - include and ship our own JRE, but due to the fact that we rely on vscode-java to be installed side by side anyway, we try to avoid putting another JRE install on the users machine. 😀

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how vscode-java packages and selects its included JRE, then determine the update path for Java 25. Done means the extension provides a Java 25 runtime that Spring Tools can reuse without requiring a separate JRE.
