Stale “Build Failed” state after successful Maven build and Run

Environment:

• macOS arm64
• VS Code Java extension
• JDK 25.0.2
• Maven 3.9.1

A minimal Maven Java project continued showing a “Build Failed” state in the VS Code Java tooling even after the project was healthy.

Observed:

• mvn clean package: BUILD SUCCESS
• mvn test: BUILD SUCCESS
• VS Code Run launched com.mycompany.app.App successfully
• VS Code diagnostics reported no errors
• Refreshing the Java project configuration cleared the stale state

Expected:
The Java build status should update after a successful rebuild or successful Run.

Actual:
The previous failure remained visible until Java project configuration was refreshed.

Workaround:
Run “Java: Update Project Configuration” or reload the Java tooling.

Comienza reproduciendo el problema con el proyecto Java mínimo de Maven descrito y, después, sigue la ruta de VS Code Java tooling que registra y muestra el estado de la compilación después de mvn clean package, mvn test y Run. El trabajo estará terminado cuando una reconstrucción o Run exitosos eliminen el estado anterior “Build Failed” sin requerir actualizar la configuración del proyecto.
