• Extension Pack for Java version: 0.18.4
• Visual Studio Code version:

Version: 1.60.0 (system setup)

• This is running on a SSH remote environment - not sure if it happens locally or not since we don't have such setup.

• Remote OS: Oracle Linux 8.

• Java related settings in VSCode (remote):

    "java.completion.guessMethodArguments": true,
    "java.configuration.runtimes": [
        {
            "name": "JavaSE-1.8",

        "/home/opc/.m2/repository/**/*.jar"
    ],
    "java.referencesCodeLens.enabled": true,

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have a parant POM project whose pom.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>com.example</groupId>
	<artifactId>parent-example</artifactId>
	<version>0.1.6</version>
	<packaging>pom</packaging>
	<modules>
		<module>common</module>
		<module>service1</module>
		<module>service2</module>
                <module>service3</module>
	</modules>
</project>

where

• common is a non-Spring simple Maven project;
• service* are all Spring projects.

2. in of the the service* project, hold [Ctrl] and click on a class name.

Current Result

The editor keeps thinking for about 1~2 minutes, then write following message 10x times in the output:

Expected Result

It should just jump the the class definition being clicked.

Additional Informations

This happens intermittently. Sometime it works, sometime it doesn't.

When it doesn't work, even cleaning Java workspace doesn't help.

Sometime it doesn't work right after cleaning Java workspace for other reasons.

There is no clear pattern on how this happens. It's hard to capture the exact steps.

Java Model Exception: Java Model Status [parent-example does not exist]

I've seen similar error, usually related to parent projects without any java files. It's possible that we didn't cover the case well, but at a first glance I don't obvious connection with the action "jump to definition".

at org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core.internal.commands.ProjectCommand.getProjectSettings(ProjectCommand.java:96)
at org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core.internal.JDTDelegateCommandHandler.executeCommand(JDTDelegateCommandHandler.java:78)

looks like it's called by below delegate command java.project.getSettings as below:

https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls/blob/9f5ef42b44c229d46372014048f3d427cdaeb08a/org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core/src/org/eclipse/jdt/ls/core/internal/JDTDelegateCommandHandler.java#L77-L78

@jdneo can you take a look where do you call this command, and does it handle parent pom project (possibly without java nature) well?

[testforstephen]

@tigerinus Would you share the entire server log?

F1 -> Java: Open Java Language Server Log File

Also it helps if you could share .project/.classpath files, which is in the same directory as your pom.xml.

Looks like these are two different problems. The error Java Model Status [parent-example does not exist] will be fixed by eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1865. While It might not be relevant with the GTD not working issue.

How can I share it in a confidential way? Sharing company server log in public is against our policy.

[testforstephen]

The "Java Model Exception" has been fixed by PR eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1865. It will be included in next version of vscode-java extension. You can also try the CI build to verify it. If Go-To-Definition issue still persists, we need more information to find the root cause.

[jdneo]

@tigerinus is the problem fixed?

I haven't seen the issue happening recently. I guess we can close this one for now. I will report again if it still happens.
