Description
I get the "Classpath is incomplete" popup warning, but can't seem to figure out the magic combination of rain dances required to make it "work".
Environment
- Operating System: Mac OS 10.13.6
- JDK version: 1.8.0_144
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.27.2
- Java extension version: 0.3.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a blank maven project in an empty folder using the context menu "Generate from Maven Archetype"
- Open the generated
App.java
Sample project attached
threadtest.zip
The only relevant log entry in server log is:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core 1 0 2018-09-27 11:53:20.416
!MESSAGE Classpath is incomplete. Only syntax errors will be reported for file:///<REDACTED>/threadtest/src/main/java/threadtest/App.java
Current Result
VS Code pops up the "Classpath is incomplete" warning
Expected Result
Based on the suggestions here, I expected to not get this warning. It's worth noting however, that the language on this page is a little confusing. Particularly this:
Whenever a java file is opened, that does not belong to a project
VS Code doesn't have a concept of a "project". Are you talking about a Maven project? Folks new to either VS Code or your extension (like me) might be confused by what this means (in-fact I am still confused, because I think I have a project but presumably I don't)

Research direction
Start with the attached threadtest.zip and generated App.java, then compare the server log entry with the linked “Classpath is incomplete” warning guidance. Reproduce the warning using the listed VS Code, Java extension, JDK, and macOS versions if available; done means the blank Maven project opens without the popup.
