Reproduce el fallo abriendo la carpeta de ejemplos de apache/camel-k en VS Code y revisa el registro completo enlazado. Comienza en StandardProjectsManager.java:311 y JDTLanguageServer.java:277 en el stack trace; se considera terminado cuando abrir la carpeta ya no produce IllegalArgumentException ni errores de archivo relacionados.
