jdtls fails to download

Relevance Confirmation

• I confirmed that this is not an issue with the Eclipse JDT Language Server itself

What happened?

after redownloading the java extension, then opening a .java file to trigger the download of the language server, it fails with this:

Language server jdtls:

from extension "Java" version 6.8.12: Failed to get Lombok jar path: Failed to download Lombok from https://projectlombok.org/downloads/lombok-1.18.44.jar: downloading release

Caused by:
    0: error sending request for url (https://projectlombok.org/downloads/lombok-1.18.44.jar)
    1: client error (Connect)
    2: operation timed out

things i tried:

• updating zed to the latest version.
• downloading lombok through browser (downloads fine with no problem).
• changing my dns.

What did you expect to happen?

no error

Environment

Thanks for sharing.

Apparently the link for the latest release v1.18.44 (March 11th, 2026) is different compared to what historically has been used.

18.44:

https://projectlombok.org/downloads/lombok.jar

18.42:

https://projectlombok.org/downloads/lombok-1.18.42.jar

I'll reach out to the maintainers to understand whether this was intended or not.

For the meanwhile you can alleviate the problem by setting "check_updates": "never" in your extension settings

• I don't think this is the issue because this link https://projectlombok.org/downloads/lombok-1.18.44.jar works fine for me if used in the browser
• also setting update to never wouldn't work for me since this is a fresh install of the extension

Interesting, from the download list available via the website the URL for the latest version lacks the versioning.
Based on this then the issue is not onto the extension. We are just using the API offered by Zed after all.
It could be something strictly related to your current network config.

To make the update setting work you could create manually the directory expected by the extension with the specific Lombok jar file in it.
