Hey everyone!
I'm new to Java programming and I want to set up my environment using Visual Studio Code. I have already installed the Java Extension Pack, but I understand that I also need to install the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) to get everything up and running. Can anyone guide me through the process of installing JDK 19 along with all the necessary tools for Java programming?

You're asking the Eclipse IDE forums. Eclipse is a competitor to Visual Studio Code.

I'm assuming that you're using Windows.

You have several options to install the JDK. For example, you could install:
- through winget (the Windows Package Manager) if your Windows is new enough
- by manually downloading a suitable build, e.g. from https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/ . I advise you to use the zip (rather than the .msi) because you can then use multiple versions in parallel.

The JDK contains all the basic tools that you need for starting out. Any other tooling should be provided by your IDE.
