Looks like the path for lombok jar is hardcoded to home folder of someone else

[testforstephen]

lombok.jar is injected by "Lombok Annotations Support for VS Code" extension, looks like it's missing. You have to manually remove "-javaagent:/home/chris/.vscode-oss/extensions/gabrielbb.vscode-lombok-1.0.1/server/lombok.jar" from user setting "java.jdt.ls.vmargs".

I'm getting the same error, but I'm not using lombok.jar. I don't have the java.jdt.ls.vmargs setting in my settings.json. I do have java.home defined in my settings.json. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Java extensions multiple times but to no avail.
