"JDK (Java Development Kit) not Installed" when using Visual Studio Code with Titanum

I've seen a few people having this exact error when using titanium extension in VS Code but I have yet to see a definitive solution. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

When I click "Play" to try to run my "hello world" program I see this error: original error

[ERROR] JDK (Java Development Kit) not installed.
[ERROR] If you already have installed the JDK, verify your JAVA_HOME environment variable is correctly set.
[ERROR] The JDK is required for Titanium and must be manually downloaded and installed from http://appcelerator.com/jdk.

In environment variables I set java_home by selecting the appropriate folder:

java_home

and set the path to point to the bin directory

java_home path

if I echo java_home it looks right.

echo java_home

I was finally able to get this kind of working. I don't know if any of these is the magic bullet but here is what I did.

  1. Deleted all java installations. Over time various programs had installed their own.
  2. Deleted all jdks.
  3. Deleted appcelerator and titanium plugin for vs code. Also deleted the corresponding module folder manually.
  4. Rebooted
  5. Installed java 8 as per the docs.
  6. Installed corresponding jdks for this version and titanium plugins.
  7. I set java_home in windows and java.home in appc.

This is where things got kind of interesting. It still wasn't working at this point. I kept messing around with java home and it still wasn't working. It seemed that it wanted reboots after these changes and that simply closing VS Code wasn't enough. After one reboot things changed - VS Code picked up that java.home and java home were not in sync (one had "bin" in the path) and the other did not. When running appc info I could see that all of the sudden more information was being returned that had not been previously.

So I removed "bin" from the path and all of the sudden it was working again (I think I rebooted again). I was now up and running in the emulator! For a while, anyway. I was then getting gradle java heap errors and when I set java options and rebooted and rebooted I lost jdk again. Anyway.... that's my story. #$%$%$#%$% titanium.
