Java version support is quite misleading

Open mapio opened this issue 2 months ago • 4 comments

Here you say that this extension "Supports code from Java 1.8 to Java 25". But since it is based on https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls if you read the details there, it says: "Supports compiling projects from Java 1.8 through 24".

So it is not clear if using Java 25 is safe now. The "code" is supported, but not "compiling" it?

When using gradle configured for Java 25 (with the code obtained from gradle init) I can compile and execute tests, but the "Problems" panel is full of

[{
"resource": ".../bugrep/app/src/main/java/org/example/App.java",
"owner": "_generated_diagnostic_collection_name_#5",
"code": "4195414",
"severity": 4,
"message": "Compiling for Java version '25' is not supported yet. Using '24' instead",
"source": "Java",
"startLineNumber": 1,
"startColumn": 1,
"endLineNumber": 1,
"endColumn": 2,
"origin": "extHost1"
}]

This is quite confusing.
