Description

When I try to open a spring project which is hosted in wsl, ( by connection to wsl 2 ubuntu 20.04) the spring boot dashboard is not enabled and I see this error:

Cannot change enablement of Spring Boot Tools extension because of its extension kind

I can open the project if I open it as local project and the plugin is enabled
