Description
Gradle projects default their builds to build/, however the vscode plugin compiles a completely separate version of all the class files to bin/, so it does require adding a completely separate directory to source control, along with actually performing all the compiles twice (once for gradle, and once for vscode).

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how the VS Code plugin compiles Gradle projects and compare its output directory with Gradle's default; the issue is done when the plugin no longer creates a separate bin/ compilation and uses the build/ output instead.
