Description

I have multi-module maven project that in Eclipse I import selecting the projects I want to put in the workspace. When I do it, I remove some projects I do not need and some "-parent" projects of nested projects.

In vscode-java all projects are imported. There should be a way to select the project as in Eclipse.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the multi-module Maven project import flow and how project selection is represented, then compare it with Eclipse's selective import behavior. Done means users can choose which projects, including nested parent projects, are imported into the VS Code workspace.
