1.58.0 is missing linux-x64 and win32-arm64 builds on Open VSX #4553
Description
On Open VSX, release 1.58.0 is published without the linux-x64 and
win32-arm64 target platforms. The same release has all seven targets on the
VS Code Marketplace.
Since the platform-specific builds are the ones that embed a JRE, a linux-x64
client falls back to the universal build, which embeds nothing. Combined with
the JDK 25 minimum introduced in 1.57.0, any Open VSX-based editor on linux-x64
without a system JDK 25+ now fails to start the language server:
Java 25 or more recent is required to run the Java extension. Please download
and install a recent JDK. You can still compile your projects with older JDKs
by configuring ['java.configuration.runtimes']
To Reproduce
- On a linux-x64 machine with only a JDK older than 25 installed, install
redhat.javafrom Open VSX (VSCodium, Theia, or any Open VSX-based editor)
on the stable channel. - The gallery resolves 1.58.0 and installs the
universaltarget, because no
linux-x64target is published for that version. - Open any Java file. The language server does not start and the Java 25
notification appears.

Missing from Open VSX for 1.58.0: linux-x64 and win32-arm64.
Expected behavior
1.58.0 on Open VSX carries the same seven targets as the Marketplace, so
linux-x64 clients receive the platform build with its embedded JRE 25.
Environment
- Operating System: Amazon Linux 2023 (x86_64) under WSL2
- JDK version: Corretto 21.0.12.1 (the distro's repo snapshot carries no JDK 25)
- Visual Studio Code version: Open VSX-based editor, remote/WSL server
- Java extension version: 1.58.0,
universaltarget, installed from Open VSX
Additional Information
The artifacts were built correctly -- the same release published all seven
targets to the Marketplace -- so this looks like the Open VSX upload of those
two not landing, rather than a packaging problem.
The publish step in .github/workflows/release.yml loops one ovsx publish
per artifact:
for platformVsix in java-*-*-${GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER}.vsix; do
ovsx publish --skip-duplicate -p ${{ secrets.OVSX_MARKETPLACE_TOKEN }} --packagePath ${platformVsix}
doneIn glob order the outcome was: darwin-arm64 ok, darwin-x64 ok,
linux-arm64 ok, linux-x64 missing, win32-arm64 missing,
win32-x64 ok. Because run: blocks execute as bash -e, a non-zero exit
would have aborted the step before win32-x64 succeeded -- so ovsx publish
appears to have exited 0 without persisting those two uploads.
Worth noting that --skip-duplicate means a re-run will not re-upload a
version Open VSX already records, so 1.58.0 probably cannot self-heal. Either a
manual upload of the two missing targets, or a republish under a new version,
would be needed.
The pre-releases immediately before (1.58.2026101608, 16-Oct) and after
(1.59.2026102008, 20-Oct) both published all seven targets from the same
workflow, which points at a single transient failure rather than a config
change.

They should be available now. Apparently some job that scans for the available versions failed, so they kicked it off again and they got picked up.
