Description

VSCode version: 1.37.0
Java Test Runner version: 0.19.0

The workspace contains two projects, i.e. A and B. Project A depends on Project B.

When executing an unit test of Project A, the test failed due to a missing Java class definition from Project B.

When browsing the dependency of Project A using Java Dependency Viewer, Project B is missing from Maven Dependencies.

If I remove Project B from the workspace, Project B re-appears in the dependency list under Maven Dependencies. At this moment, the test runs perfectly fine without any issue.

I am not sure whether there are some issues on resolving classpath in mutli-project workspace.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in the described two-project workspace, then inspect Project A in Java Dependency Viewer while Project B is present or removed. Done means Project B remains in Maven Dependencies and Project A's unit test runs without the NoClassDefFoundError; the issue names no repository files or tests to inspect.
