Hi @fbricon
I was able to figure out the issue, turns out that I was defining the JAVA_HOME variable in my ~/.bashrc but not exporting it. This lead to vs-code process being unaware of the JAVA_HOME variable. Rookie mistake, sorry. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1158091/defining-a-variable-with-or-without-export
Thanks for your comment, closing the issue.
