在 VS 代码中更改 java.home 路径

Question

I just installed java 11 coz VS code was prompting me to update it to java 11 or newer version. After installing java 14, I'm not getting how to change the path to new folder that has java 14. In settings.json file the path can be seen when cursor hovered over java.home variable.

Answer 1

The path to the Java Development Kit is searched in thefollowing order :

1. the java.home setting in VS Code settings (workspace then user settings)
2. the JDK_HOME environment variable
3. the JAVA_HOME environment variable
4. on the current system path

The 'java.home' has the highest priority, and 'java.home' is different from the system environment variable. Open settings and search 'java.home', you can get the example:

"java.home":"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_161"

It points to 'jdk' folder instead of 'jdkFolder\bin'.

Answer 2

Answer 3

For those coming now, in VSCode settings change "java.home" to "java.jdt.ls.java.home"

From

"java.home": "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-17.0.2"

To

"java.jdt.ls.java.home": "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-17.0.2",
