Why isn't CFLint working in my copy of Visual Studio Code?

I have installed CFLint, and CFML Language (both by KamasamaK) in VScode, but the linter does not flag up any code errors on screen, or within the "Problem tab". I have tried the following:

1. Removed and reinstalled VSCode
2. Disabled all extensions and allowed only it and extensions it depends on
3. Re-downloaded the jar file from git
4. Removed the CFLint extension, trying another linter but the problem remains!
5. Explicitly pointed the extension to use both the jar file and .cflintrc file
6. Put both said files in the same directory

The CFML Language extension DOES work, but not the linter. Any ideas? I have crossed compared this with my friends setup and both are identical. NOTE, this is on the latest version of MacOS.

SOLVED!

The avenue I was wandering down was the "it has to be a VSCode issue..." HOWEVER, upon doing a task in laravae for a client, I noticed that the problem tab WAS reporting code syntax errors... SO I then shifted my focus to "It has to be a problem with the .jar file..."

Long story short - turns out that the JRE was not installed on my version of macOS (Sequoia 15.4.1 )... Unfortunately homebrew doesnt seem to allow the download, so you have to download and install the JRE directly from the java website (making sure you install the ARM version of it if you are on a M3 Mac).

NOTE: you can test if this is the reason CFLInt doesnt work for you by hitting terminal and running the command: java -version
