I have used java on many IDEs but I simply cannot on VS Code/linux. Before you tell me to just google it/remove my post, I've already read the similar stack overflow question, java tutorial VS Code, and setting java.home by oracle.The actual stack overflow post wasn't even answered even though it was marked solved.

I am running VS Code on windows and running all my coding in VSCode in a WSL, basically Ubuntu for windows. I installed the Java Extension Pack. I installed the jdk in my root directory and defined the path in settings.json as such

"java.home": "~/jdk/jdk-14.0.1"

As a response on reboot VS Code says

"The java.home variable defined in VS Code settings (/home/myname/jdk/jdk-14.0.1) does not point to a JDK Source : Language Support for Java (TM) by Red Hat (Extension)"

Why is it saying this isn't a JDK when it literally is :( Let me know if you need any more information.

I figured it out, it wasn't installed correctly. I copied the windows installation jdk rather than installing the .rpm jdk via Alien. After proper installation it was installed in /usr/java/jdk-14.0.1, so I used that as the path.
