Welcome to the update of Java on Visual Studio Code for November. In this update, we are excited to announce a new wizard for Java runtime configuration. Back to September, we published a blog  clarifying: 1) Java 11 as minimum version of JDK is only required for running VS Code for Java; 2) VS Code continuously supports projects with JDK version 1.5 or above. In that blog, we also shared how to configure JDKs for your project and for running VS Code for Java respectively, which requires you to manually configure two settings in ‘settings.json’ file. Although the manual approach works, we are aware that improvements in overall experience are still needed, which results in the implementation of Java Runtime Configuration Wizard.
