[VSCode] Section 1 - Setup of Java JDK

[UdhayaShan1]

Currently most online tutorials use a coding pack to download the JDK, extensions.
However, CS2103T uses Java 11, hence the versions may cause an issue via the automated install. which may install Java 17.
We can break this down into

1. Download JDK manually from Oracle
2. Download the extensions (may not include Gradle, as I was thinking of putting it in separate section)
3. Setup a main project (just for completion and running) using the VSCode java commands

@UdhayaShan1 We are moving to Java 17 from the coming semester. However, Mac users still need to install a specific Zulu JDK+FX distro, as they did for Java 11.

Noted, I think using the coding pack will make it alot easier in this case

Perhaps it is still good to describe how to install/use a JDK that is not the one included in coding pack? Especially given that the latest Java LTS version is 21.

The coding pack installs Java 17 by default however I am not sure if this might change in the future.

I will continue with a manual installation guide instead
