Answer 3

What is your operating system??

this file is only for windows

Answer 4

In Java on Visual Studio Code Update – November 2020 , It's strongly recommended that installing the extension pack or Coding Pack for Java for Java development on VS Code. Please follow the above link to install Coding Pack for Java-Windows .

Answer 5

Currently Java Extension Pack is available for Visual Studio Code , instead of Visual Studio .

To enable Java support on Visual Studio Code, you can manually:

1. Install JDK (not JRE) 11+. BecauseLanguage Support for Java requires JDK 11+ to launch itself.
2. [Optional] In VS Code's settings, point java.home to the home directory of your JDK. (it's automatically detected if it's pointed by JAVA_HOME , included in PATH , or installed in default locations.)

Or as mentioned by @user14479250, you can simply run the all-in-one installer, which will install VS Code, JDK 11 and Java extensions if missing.
