Generate project Metadatafiles at project root

[kraabrsg]

Hi, we had a strange problem with imports of generated classes(not found with import). The project was initially started with eclipse, to solve the problem we had to add classpath in eclipse. Now we have done an extensions which loads this extension and M$ debug extensions, takes care of writing launch settings in the workspace for debugging, providing maven commands and so on....

We now want to check if the ".classpath" file has this two entries, if not add it.

After turning the setting
java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot

on nothing was generated (or better said how to trigger it) ???
We assumed to find the files ".project" , ".classpath" and so on in the project root.

We are using quarkus and maven (and also java batch for mainframe).

Common project structure:
REPO -> REPO-BUSINESS -> REPO-BUSINESS-SERVICES
-> REPO-BUSINESS-CONSUMEND-CLIENTS

The ".classpath" file is in the *-SERVICES" folder

1.) how to trigger the generation of the metadatafiles at project root (activating the settings does not seem to do anything)
2.) in the classpath file the path is relative, so this is taken into consideration ?

Thank you!

@kraabrsg You can try to set

"java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot": true,

and Clean the workspace directory

Hi @snjeza i had allready set this setting to true
java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot

additionally cleaning the workspace directory does not help either.

When should the generation be triggered ?

Thanks!

When should the generation be triggered ?

They should generated during the importing.
Are there pom.xml, build.gradle or build.gradle.kts in your workspace?
Java LS should generate .project and .classpath in a directory that contains pom.xml, build.gradle or build.gradle.kts.
Could you show your server log?
