Description

The new semantic tokens highlighting for the Java editor works nicely, but it seems like one little piece is missing. When I startup the IDE where an editor is already open, the semantic token highlighting doesn't show up in the Java editor.

All other cases (start typing in the editor, open a new editor) work nicely.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by starting the IDE with an existing Java editor open, then compare that startup path with typing in the editor or opening a new editor. Trace the semantic-token initialization triggered by those cases; done means highlighting is visible immediately after startup for the already-open Java editor.
