Description
[provide a description of the issue]
Environment
- Operating System: Windows 10
- JDK version: JavaSE-1.8 (for the project) and JavaSE-11 for vs code
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.70.0
- Java extension version: Extension Pack for Java v0.25.0
Steps To Reproduce

- The Java Build Status indicator on the status bar is spinning forever.
- The status bar Java Build status shows an
info popup as "Building - Lightweight mode".

[Please attach a sample project reproducing the error]
I don't have a sample project now. Will try to make a simple one to verify.
Please attach logs
vscode-java logs: vscode-app-1660164678368.log
Another log: vscode-app-1660165168557.log
Java Language Server's workspace logs: .log
Current Result
Java build status is spinning and the project is not loaded
Expected Result
The project was opening and compiling correctly just last week. I think the recent update broke something.
Additional Informations

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached vscode-java logs and Java Language Server workspace log, then reproduce on Windows 10 with JavaSE-1.8 for the project, JavaSE-11 for VS Code, and the reported extension versions. Done means the Java Build Status no longer spins indefinitely and the project loads and compiles correctly.
