Project Manager for Java Not Working/Appearing in Explorer

See original GitHub issue

On a new install of CodeServer, the Java Project Manager view does not appear. I’ve tested on both official docker release and the LinuxServer release. I’ve ensured the JDK is available and set up using the “java.home” setting and have tested both versions 11 and 14, just to be sure.

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Chrome
Local OS: Windows 10
Remote OS: Linux(Unraid) - Docker
Remote Architecture: x64
code-server --version: 3.11.0 4e8cd09ef0412dfc7b148b7639a692e20e4fd6dd

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy new docker container
Copy a Java installation to a known location available to the container, and configure the java path in CodeServer
Install Java Extension Pack
Install Spring Initializr Java Support
Create new project using initializr
Open the main java file

Expected

Java Project Explorer should appear in the side bar and list the java project (this happens on vanilla VS Code)

Actual

Java welcome page comes up, but the Java Project Explorer does not appear

Notes

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: No

@balajib-b I checked and have disabled popups, but the Java Project Manager is still missing. When I create the project using Initializr, I’ve used the defaults for everything except the Java version: Maven, 2.5.3, Java, com.example, demo, jar, 16, 0 dependencies, default location. Upon completion I receive the popup for adding the project to the workspace, however the Java Projects collapse is not visible in the Explorer.

To note, I am still able to run the project. The issue is just that the Project Manager for Java extension seems to not be running.

I think the only prerequisite is making sure the Java sdk is available and that Code Server knows about it (via the “java.home” setting or $JAVA_HOME environment variable).

Using the Spring Initializr extension is just a quick way to bootstrap a runnable Java project. I started with “Spring Initializr: Create a Maven Project…” then just used the defaults for each step.
