'Cannot be resolved' errors in projects with module-info.java

I am not able to get projects that use a module-info.java file to work with VS Code and Java. I've tried both Gradle and Maven.

VS Code p shows me a bunch of "cannot be resolved" errors for any classes called out in the module-info.java file. What I have found is that if I put a module attribute in the classpath, then it will work. However, because I am modifying the classpath file manually, I find that Gradle and Maven will automatically refresh the classpath file and remove my modifications to it, which will bring back the errors.

Is there a proper way to use modules with VS Code and Java? It seems that the problem is due to the fact that there needs to be module path information set in the classpath file in order for Eclipse to be happy, but there is no good way to do with that from Gradle or Maven.
