Description

It is originally raise in Gitpod: https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/12448
For very big projects it takes a while to import and reindex the project on the startup of container. Gitpod has a concept of prebuild, i.e. CI for dev containers. We would like to warm up Java LS or VS Code extension that on real container start it is loaded immediately.
