Visual Studio Code deleting class files in target folder

I'm working on multi module Maven project, i built in cmd using mvn clean install/deploy and the build is successful, all the class files in target\class folder are generated.

But when i import this project in VS Code, while opening the projects it is deleting all the class files i.e it deletes target\classes*com* folder in all the projects.

And, VS code doesn't resolve the dependencies in java files until the file is opened.

How do I fix this?

So, when the all the class files are deleted, it is unable to debug the code. While I try to run the code, it shows following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.application.Main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.application.Main

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• JDK version: 11+
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.74.3

Start by reproducing the issue with the reported multi-module Maven project on Windows 10 using JDK 11+ and VS Code 1.74.3. Inspect the target\classes output while the project opens, then verify whether dependency resolution and debugging recover without the generated com files being deleted. Done means identifying the cause and documenting or implementing a fix for the class-file deletion and resulting ClassNotFoundException.
