  1. Install flatpak openjdk extension. (In this case openjdk21):
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk21
  1. Add two new environment to use flatpak openjdk extension in VSCodium:
flatpak override --user --env=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/sdk/openjdk21 com.vscodium.codium && flatpak override --user --env=PATH=/usr/lib/sdk/openjdk21/bin:/app/bin:/usr/bin com.vscodium.codium
  1. Restart VSCodium:
