I’m using coc-java plugin in coc.nvim completion plugin, which uses jdt.ls. And everything works fine. You can have a try.

Hello everyone. I am running Vim 8.1 on Arch and using ALE as the client for eclipse.jdt.ls. Unfortunately, even though linting and autocomplete are working for the core Java libraries, I can neither get auto-completion for third party libraries, similarly to what is shown by @JayceCao above, nor does it seem like there is any activity regarding Gradle when I open the project, as a clean ~/.gradle folder remains unpopulated. Even when I call Gradle to download the dependencies, I still get no autocompletion on the third party libraries, even though they are present. This is surely an issue with my configuration so I come here searching for some guidance. My questions are as follows, does autocomplete for third party libraries still work for you on eclipse.jdt.ls 0.35+, @JayceCao? Did setting GRADLE_USER_HOME and cleaning up ~/.gradle fix the issue for you @orlandoc01? Should eclipse.jdt.ls trigger Gradle when opening a project? Thank you for your time.

Ah ok, I suppose I could download the jars manually for my projects, thanks! I am using gradle with coc-java and neovim when experiencing this problem. With vscode everything works fine, but with nvim I get package not found and symbol missing errors. I believe that shouldn’t be the case and it shouldn’t require manually downloading jars, but I’m having a hard time finding out why it is happening.
