Description

VSCode with the RedHat Language Support for Java extension does not obey javac compiler options specified in the Maven pom.xml when compiling projects.

Environment
  • Operating System: Debian 12
  • JDK version: 21.0.1
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.87.0
  • Java extension version: 1.29.2024030608
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Compile the sample project via mvn compile. Note that no errors or warnings are produced.
  2. Open the sample project in VSCode and wait for the Java extension to build it. Note that 1 warning is produced.

Sample project:
https://github.com/paulmedynski/vscode-java-compiler-args

Current Result

VSCode produces compiler errors and warnings that are disabled in pom.xml.

Expected Result

VSCode compiles the project with the same compiler options specified in pom.xml.

Research direction

Start with the linked sample project and compare mvn compile with the VSCode Java extension build, using the pom.xml compiler options as the expected behavior. Trace how the extension imports or applies those options, then verify that VSCode produces the same diagnostics as Maven.
