Choose File/Preferences/Settings and change the value of

 
"netbeans.jdkhome": "",
 

while the Apache NetBeans Language Server VSCode extension is running. The nbcode backend shall be killed and restarted on the new JDK. However it goes into strange loop and then stops listening for changes in the property completely. Example of output:
