No java-upgrade promotion after I open project or install related extension without restart IDE

[yuyully]

OS: Windows
vscode java dependency v0.27.0 + vscode java v1.50.0

Repro steps:

1. Sign out copilot in vscode > Close vscode
2. Clear folders under C:\Users<user>.vscode and C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code
3. Open vscode > Install vscode java and java dependency > Open project https://github.com/peterborkuti/movie-info-service

Actual:

1. At step 3, when you are first time to open the project, there is no any promotion about java upgrade. Restart IDE, the java-upgrade promotion shows up.
2. Install copilot app java upgrade extension > Uninstall it > Install it again (without restart extension or restart IDE) > Now there is no java-upgrade promotion.

Expected:

1. After I first time open the project, it should have java upgrade related notification.
2. After install copilot app java upgrade extension, it should have java upgrade related notification as well.

Hi @yuyully, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Workarounds

• The Java upgrade prompt is only shown when the Java extension is activated. To trigger it without restarting:

  • Open any *.java file in the project (this fires the onLanguage:java activation event).
  • Or run Developer: Reload Window after installing/uninstalling the Java Upgrade extension.

• If you need the prompt immediately on first open or after extension install, you’ll still need to reload/restart VS Code.

Relevant issue

• Can’t prompt user to reload window (same root cause: new extension install doesn’t trigger activation/reload prompt)
