Description
[provide a description of the issue]
Environment
- Operating System: manjaor Linux, macOS
- JDK version: Oracle JDK 8u202 and 11.0.11
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.58.1 (Universal)
Commit: 2aeda6b18e13c4f4f9edf6667158a6b8d408874b - Java extension version: v0.80.0
Steps To Reproduce
giving a multi maven project:
├── projectA
│ ├── pom.xml
│ ├── A.java
├── projectB
│ ├── pom.xml
│ ├── B.java
├── pom.xml
in A.java, I cannot navigate into B.java, which is MPPQueueInfo.java below


However, the project can build and run successfully. In another single maven project, nothing like this occurs.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported case with the multi-module Maven layout: projectA, projectB, their pom.xml files, and the root pom.xml. Start by testing definition navigation from A.java to B.java (MPPQueueInfo.java), comparing it with the single-project case. Done means navigation works while the project continues to build and run; no implementation file or test is named.
