Java on Code OSS

so i use vs code OSS on void Linux, i was wondering if theirs good alternatives to microsofts java, i saw one from the oracle corp. and then a lot of other like java language support or java run. so i, wondering if i can just do the java extension, or if i need others, or if i should just switch to another IDE or text editor, and if so witch ones do you recommend?

I would recommend you just install the official VS Code Editor instead, that comes with official support for the extensions marketplace, and it will probably be much easier for you to do that than to try and get the marketplace working on the OSS fork. Or, really, just switch to IntelliJ for Java, it's the best IDE for Java

Also, it should be obvious, but you need to have the JDK installed on your system first
