Problems getting started

[peakschris]

I'm facing a few issues getting started with a hello world project and VSCode Java. The main one is the my imports are not recognized:

This is despite listing the package in BUILD.bazel (java_binary rule):

I'm using maven_install to pull in the dependencies, and have tried both in pinned and unpinned modes.

This is a great idea and we have very similar needs to yourselves in our migration to bazel whilst maintaining good IDE support.

Thanks! Chris

This might not be an ideal fix, but since this extension was not working for me either I've managed to resolve my imports by creating the file ./workspace.code-workspace and adding the following lines :

{
    ...
    "settings": {
        ...
        "java.project.referencedLibraries": [
            "bazel-project_name/external/maven/**/*.jar",
        ],
    }
}

@peakschris @juskek The Bazel language server has undergone excessive rework. The extension is now available as preview release in the VS Code marketplace. Any interest in giving this another try?
