Java Model Exception: Java Model Status [src/main/java/suddenly.in.dot.notation [in some-maven-submodule] is not on its project's build path]

I have a maven project, with 5 submodules, nothing too special, Spring Boot 2, Lombok, AWS SDK. Project builds fine, ie, I can mvn test/compile/package/install to hearts’ delight.

When I open this project in VS Code, I get the following errors (many of them, see also attached log):

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.ls.core 4 0 2018-07-11 18:14:02.128

That’s really odd. Can you try the “Clean the Java Language server workspace” command? If it doesn’t fix the issue, we’ll definitely need a sample project to reproduce this issue

@fbricon thanks, that solved my problem
