ALEFix not working

I am working on a java project with spring depenedencies and using maven as the build tool. During the project work, I have enabled ALE for linting.

Are you having trouble configuring ALE? Try asking for help on Stack Exchange or perhaps on Reddit instead. The GitHub issue tracker should be used for reporting bugs or asking for new features.

Reproducing the bug

Ale_info.log

1. Edit the Main.java
2. Add some dummy text like "asdf"
3. Expectation ALE linting errors on the sidebar

:ALEInfo

Attached along.

Is there any way to make the command shorter that you know of?

One thing you can try instead is using the language server instead of javac for linting. See here: https://github.com/georgewfraser/java-language-server

No. The maven dependency list would spit out all the jars and this is getting added to the classpath for compilation.

Can you let me know the process of modifying the language server? I am not aware of this integration.

I don't know how to install it myself, but you probably just need to npm install it somewhere and maybe change the _executable setting in ALE, so ALE knows where to run it from.

I think I know how to fix this issue. Vim patch 8.0.0902 includes an env option for setting environment variables for command separate from the command line. If we rework how jobs and environment variables are constructed in general, we can pass the classpath via an environment variable instead, and that should make the command line short enough to run javac.

I am running into a similar problem. The available linters don't get run because the resulting command line is too long because maven includes every jar it knows about. I have used ALE for personal Javascript projects and really like it. Any help at getting it working for Java files to would be greatly appreciated.
