Description
Type: Feature Request
In the C extension, if Intellisense breaks (which it often does), one can right-click on the editor and click “Restart Intellisense for Active File” to do exactly that. This feature is not present for Java, making the most convenient solution restarting all of VSCode.
Extension version: 1.51.2025122008
VS Code version: Code 1.107.1 (994fd12f8d3a5aa16f17d42c041e5809167e845a, 2025-12-17T14:15:14.850Z)
OS version: Linux x64 6.8.0-90-generic

Research direction
The issue names the Java VS Code extension and the existing C extension behavior, but no files or tests. Compare how the C extension provides “Restart Intellisense for Active File” with the Java extension’s available commands. Done means Java users can restart Intellisense for only the active file without restarting VS Code.
