VSCode error 'Java Home is different' when trying to develope on Mac

Question

I am trying to develope my java app on Mac usig Gradle + openjdk. I have installed the openjdk using homebrew.

When I open my workspace in VSCode, I get the following error...

Could not run phased build action using connection to Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-bin.zip'.
The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected.
It won't be possible to reconnect to this daemon. Context mismatch: 
Java home is different.

When I run echo $JAVA_HOME I get the following output...

/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@11

Did you try to set the setting java.import.gradle.java.home in VS Code with your expected javaHome path?
