Description

I have a basic java code where I am using inheritance.
It seems like extension is unable to get doc-strings and other verbose information.

As compared to the normal execution where when you hover over the object instance or class name you are given the various details of the constructor, in this case it doesn't.

Although the code works but all the autocomplete features gets disabled.

The server says File Not Found

Environment
  • ElementaryOS:
  • javac 1.8.0_171:
  • 1.23.1:
  • 0.25.0

Folder with all files to reproduce error

The log file is in the folder.
The error seems to come from Car.java file in the Demo.java file.

Research direction

Download the reproduction folder linked in the issue and inspect its log, starting with the Car.java and Demo.java interaction. Reproduce the File Not Found error in the Java extension, then trace the failing autocomplete or hover request; done means inherited types provide documentation and verbose information without disabling autocomplete.
