openjdk version "11.0.10" 2021-01-19

Problem Description:
In a multi-module Maven project with modules that use src or ejbModule as the source folder (not the standard Maven structure), the Java Language Server does not recognize the classes as part of the classpath and shows the error:
<ClassName>.java is not on the classpath of project <project>, only syntax errors are reported.

Some classes fail to resolve imports and show red underlines.

However, if I run mvn clean install, the project and all submodules compile correctly.

What I've already tried:

• Added "java.project.sourcePaths": ["src"] or ["ejbModule"] in the various modules
• Cleaned and rebuilt the Java workspace
• Deleted .vscode, .project, .classpath
• Reloaded the window and restarted VS Code
• All dependencies are correctly resolved by Maven (mvn clean install works)
• Other colleagues using VS Code do not experience this issue with this same project structure

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the project root in VS Code
2. Wait for indexing to complete
3. Open a Java class in src or ejbModule of a module
4. See the classpath error

Thanks for your help!

Riprodurre dalla radice del progetto utilizzando un progetto Maven multi-modulo con moduli contenenti src o ejbModule, quindi ispezionare l'output di Java Language Server per il percorso della risorsa mancante segnalata. Confrontare i percorsi sorgente configurati con la struttura dei moduli e verificare il risultato aprendo le classi interessate. Il lavoro è completato quando le classi si trovano nel classpath del progetto, gli import vengono risolti e la diagnostica del classpath non viene più visualizzata.
