Extension activates wrongly on running user tasks
Type: Bug
I have a user task configured in vscode to run upon a certain shortcut (launching some external editor on the currently open folder). A few vscode versions ago, this user task was sometimes not activating anymore. However when waiting a long time I noticed that the user task would work but always super slowly and a notification in vscode saying that it activates the java extension (though my projects have nothing to do with java and the user task neither, it just launches an external editor on the current workspace folder). The vscode extension bisect command revealed the java extension as being the culprit. (maybe related to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/175833)

I can repro this issue when opening a non-Java workspace and then click Terminal > Configure Tasks... or Terminal > Configure Default Build Tasks....
Is that the case you encountered?
I think yes. I'm using custom tasks https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_custom-tasks but it seems to be the very same "mechanism" as the build tasks you mention.
