Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a workspace of multiple Java projects. When two projects share the same groupId and artifactId, one of them do not get recognized by Project Manager, and thus not able to get built and debugged.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the case, project manager should either support it or throw error about it, instead of silently doing nothing.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have to remove one of the projects from the same workspace to get the other loading.

Research direction

Start by locating the Project Manager logic in the vscode-java repository that identifies projects by groupId and artifactId, then reproduce the issue with two Java projects sharing both values in one workspace. Done means the projects are supported together or the Project Manager presents an explicit error instead of silently ignoring one.
