Extension hangs with org.eclipse.jface.text.BadLocationException

Pretty often when I am refactoring my code and there (one or two files contain pretty broken code) - extension hangs and all it's features stop working.

Restarting VSCode fixes the issue.

My project is super simple (5 classes), has rudimentary pom.xml.

Output window for Language Support for Java shows this error:

Same error and stack dump can be found in the log that I open with "Java: Open Java Language Server log file".

(related?) Dev Tools console log contains quite a lot copies of this warning:

I was experiencing the same issue with the previous version of the extension.

When extension hangs, VSCode status bar usually says "Validating document - 0%"

Environment

• Operating System: Win10 v1803
• JDK version: 1.8.0_181
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.25.1
• Java extension version: 0.29.0

Steps To Reproduce

Not quite sure about the pattern or repro yet, but happens like every hour (=pretty often).

Start with the stack trace entries in DocumentSymbolHandler, JDTUtils, and JsonRpcHelpers, then reproduce the hang using broken Java files and inspect the Java Language Server log. The issue is resolved when document validation and extension features continue working without the BadLocationException hang.
