Description

When I open a Java project without build tool, Enable Java Tests feature always help me to setup my test framework, it saves my life. But if there is something wrong with my test library, e.g., removing hamcrest jar file in JUnit test framework, I have no way to repair the test library since Enable Java Tests can't be found in any place now. In this way, is it possible to put it in the command palette as well?
