There is no formatter for 'java' files installed in VSCode

I was able to format Java code in VSCode, but now I see "there is no formatter for 'java' files installed." as:

Certainly language support is provided through the redhat language support plugin. Can this be re-initialized, perhaps?

Looks to be a problem others have at least seen, although the error message might be slightly different.

I had the same issue: There is no formatter for 'typescript'.. Then I checked if I was logged in VSCode (bottom left button in VSCode) and I was not. so I logged in again and the problem was solved.

Check your settings.json (mine was in .vscode). Update this to:

"java.format.enable": true,

Mine was set to false.

Everything worked fine until today. I didn't update or change anything in vs code. But today I had the same error for typescript files: "Sorry, but there is no formatter for 'typescript'-files installed" Explicitly setting typescript.format.enable to true fixed it.
