The error is:
.java is not on the classpath of project xxxx, only syntax errors are reported

Environment

• Operating System: MacOs, Catalina 10.15.7
• JDK version:

openjdk version "11.0.9" 2020-10-20 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.43+21-CA (build 11.0.9+11-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.43+21-CA (build 11.0.9+11-LTS, mixed mode)

• Visual Studio Code version: 1.55.2
• Java extension version: 0.76.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Import Gradle project
2. Open .java file

Here are some other messages that I get:

Could not run phased build action using connection to Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-all.zip'.

Additional Informations

I am also trying to get Emacs work with this project. I have lots of NullPointerExceptions from the plugins in the lsp-log there.
I've read that Gradle projects for Android are not supported. Well, this one is not for Android.
Here is what I put in build.gradle:

plugins {
id 'java'
id 'eclipse'
id 'idea'
...

I also put this (to have the classes copied in bin and not only in the build directory:

task copyBuildToBin(type: Copy) {
from 'build/classes/java/'
from 'build/resources/'
into 'bin/'
}

Start by reproducing the Gradle import from the issue, opening a .java file in the VS Code Java extension, and reviewing the project's build.gradle. Compare the classpath error with the reported Gradle daemon Java-home mismatch and the language-server NullPointerExceptions. Done means a non-Android Gradle project imports without the classpath warning and Java files are fully supported rather than syntax-only.
