VS Code for Java will still be possible to compile and run Java applications from Java 1.5 to 14. Please note, this is NOT a requirement to migrate your projects to Java 11. For more details on how to check and upgrade, please refer to Configuring your development environment to use a JDK.

This is a CALL FOR ACTION to make sure your VS Code for Java runs on Java 11 or above versions before the time comes. We expect the requirement will become effective as early as July 2020 for running VS Code for Java. As a result of the Eclipse Platform’s decision to require Java 11 as the minimum requirement for its September 2020 release, that same requirement will apply to VS Code for Java. VS Code for Java requires the Eclipse JDT.LS server. VS Code for Java soon requiring Java 11 to run
