Description
I was following the Getting Started with Java in VS Code doc and found it pretty confusing as a beginner.
The Setting up section asked me to install the coding pack that installed the JDK and added it to the path. But the very next section was about installing custom JDK from other websites, making me think I need to install the JDK again. And the coding pack didn't prompt me to reboot my system and javac didn't work as the changes in the path were not reflected without reboot.
I think it'd be helpful if you make the instructions more clear and add a small quick start section in the beginning:
- Download and run the Coding Pack for Java.
- In VS code install the Extension Pack for Java.
- Restart the system.
- Run java with ▶️ button.
