Description
In the case that a JDK cannot be found, we currently have a small popup box to link to a page to download a JDK.
A nicer/easier implementation was done for the Java-extension pack.
Here is how they did it: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-java-pack/issues/142#issuecomment-487241394
Update: indicated below, only need to write it if it is not released as an npm module. If it is eventually released then simply setup the code to be able to use it.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing popup shown when no JDK is found, then read the linked Java extension pack implementation and its discussion. Determine whether that implementation is available as an npm module; done means using it when possible, or providing an equivalent custom panel that recommends a JDK download.
