In VS Code, right-clicking a .properties file and selecting "Convert .properties to .yaml" does nothing

Any idea why?

With apologies if I should be reporting this (that is, asking for help) somewhere else (please let me know).

Environment

• Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) 1.96.4 on Windows 10
• Relevant VS Code extensions (and their versions):
  • Language Support for Java by Red Hat (1.39.0)
  • Spring Boot Tools (1.60.0)
• VS Code shows language mode "Spring Boot Properties" when I'm editing a .properties file

Example .properties file

I doubt this is relevant, because I don't think the processing is getting this far ("command 'sts/boot/props-to-yaml' not found"), but for what it's worth (note: this is deliberately a trivially small test case):

server.port=9070

Thoughts

I've Googled for:

[warning] [redhat.java] Accessing a resource scoped configuration without providing a resource is not expected. To get the effective value for '[java]', provide the URI of a resource or 'null' for any resource.

found some hits, but I'm none the wiser about what to do. (Well, I've tried adding an empty "[java]": {} to my VS Code settings.json, but that's just grasping at straws.)

Start by tracing the vscode-spring-boot.props-to-yaml context-menu command and the sts/boot/props-to-yaml command named in the exthost.log, then inspect how Spring Boot Tools activates for Spring Boot Properties. Done means right-clicking a .properties file successfully runs Convert .properties to .yaml instead of reporting that the command is not found.
