Visual Studio Code – Java language server (redhad) error in VSCode (Linux)

Since some days I get an error at startup of language server.
The log file looks as follows indicating a NollPointerException:

This happens in so simple projects like https://github.com/Reissner/icons,
but not always. seems kind of instability.
Cannot figure out the problem.
I am also new to vs code.

Maybe thats immaterial but I work on linux,
VSCode has version 1.71.2,
I have installed the Extension Pack for Java, version v0.25.1
and I would say nothing else related with java.
