New java created project not detected as java project until a file is opened

[rajinder-yadav]

Newly created java project not detected as java project.

Create a new java project.

Steps:
press ctrl + shift + p
Type "java: create"
Selected, create a new java project.

Once project is created, notice IDE has not detected it is a java project.
open the main java file, now IDE detects it is a java project.

Issue with this, before opening any java file, if I right-click in explorer on "src" folder to create a new java file, IDE creates a blank file. It should create a file with skeleton code of a Class.

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• JDK version: openjdk version "18.0.1" 2022-04-19
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.69.0-insider
• Java extension version: 1.8.0

The same happens if you cd in the root of the java project and then open vscode from the terminal.
vscode opens and doesn't know project is java.
note make sure no files are opened in edit window, if so close all open files, close vscode and redo steps.

This is by design so far. For project which has build tools (pom.xml, build.gradle, etc...), the project will be imported automatically as long as those files are located at the root of the workspace folder.

For project which do not have a build tool (your case), the Java extension won't be activated until a Java file is opened. - to avoid being activated unintentionally.
