Description

I've only just installed the plugin but it's been pretty unusable to me because the moment I open a project it then produces thousands of .class files and modifications to classpath files. I don't know what it's doing this based off as I get none of this behavior using IntelliJ IDEA and there doesn't seem to be any documentation of this in the readme, so I have no idea how to disable this.

Environment
  • Operating System: OS X
  • JDK version: 1.8
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.26
  • Java extension version: 0.28
Steps To Reproduce
  1. [step 1] Install extension
  2. [step 2] Open Java project

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the problem with the listed extension, JDK, operating system, and VS Code versions using the two reported steps; investigate why opening a Java project creates .class and classpath changes, and consider the requested way to disable or document that behavior.
