Description
When I open a java project in VSCode and click on a .java file, I get the error - "Couldn't start client Java Language Server". Screenshot below -
I already have the JAVA_HOME environment variable set -
and also java.home set in VSCode user settings -
Environment
- Operating System: Windows 10
- JDK version: 11.0.1
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.30.2
- Java extension version: 0.38.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Open a java file in a java project
Additional Informations
I also get additional errors, like "Classpath is incomplete". Even though I opened a complete intellij generated project and a netbeans generated project in 2 different windows.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows 10 with JDK 11.0.1, VS Code 1.30.2, and Java extension 0.38.0, using both JAVA_HOME and java.home as described; opening a Java file should start the Java Language Server without the startup or incomplete-classpath errors.
