Tabnine, an AI code assistant developed by Tabnine LTD, integrates with multiple code editors to enhance developer productivity by providing code completions and suggestions. While Tabnine supports numerous programming languages, including Java, it does not directly utilize "jdtls.exe."

The signature on the executable should have been verified through a third party whose job it is to make sure the entity is who it says it is. Find an unsigned executable?
