[theia/java] getting language/actionableNotification for each gradle file in workspace

[AlexTugarev]

In Theia, each language/actionableNotification is translated to a user notification. But if you try to open a project in workspace which has many gradle files, this strategy seems to be really spammy.

I compared with vscode, and LS tracing confirms this behavior; getting 75 notifications for a spring boot project. Though they manage to debounce the noise.

Is it intended to let the client debounce these notifications? What's you're recommendation?

It should not be spammy, ideally. Do you have a sample project reproducing this 75 notifications issue?

[AlexTugarev]

git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot, which is ok in vscode due to some magic, but I see the notification in tracing:

try with Theia it will show you all of them at once.

[fbricon]

ok, so the 1st thing to do would be for jdt.ls to ignore changed build files under the build folder, it should stop the spam at once

[AlexTugarev]

now you mentioned it, as far as I see, all of them are in bin folders.

ok, even if you would take care of that, would you suggest to debounce actionableNotifications?

@AlexTugarev only if they're identical
