experimental javac compiler: tree.kind is null

Hello,

I'm trying the experimental javac compiler and getting the following error:

I'm not sure what I can share to be usefull

    "java.jdt.ls.java.home": "~/.asdf/installs/java/openjdk-25/",
    "java.jdt.ls.javac.enabled": "on",

There is no issue compiling with ecj

I can't share the source code of the project but if you tell me where to look with more debugging I can help

Regards

提供された java.jdt.ls.javac.enabled および Java 25 の設定を使用して、まず JavacCompilationUnitResolver.parse と jdk.compiler's ThisEscapeAnalyzer.visitReference に報告されているスタックエントリを確認します。最小限の Java 例で失敗を再現するか、共有可能なソースケースを入手します。完了の条件は、トリガーとなるケースが切り分けられ、javac ベースの解析がクラッシュしなくなることです。
