Installation

Requirements

Java 11, 17, or 21 must be installed.

The extension will search for a Java installation in the following order, stopping as soon as a valid installation is detected:

1. Checks the extension's settings.

   TIP: Use this option to specify an alternative Java path for the extension. This is particularly useful when JAVA_HOME or your system's PATH reference an unsupported Java version.

2. Searches for the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

3. Attempts to execute Java from your system's PATH.

If no valid Java installation is located, you will receive an error message.
