Pressing TAB to autocomplete on java makes the whole editor freeze (company capf timeout)

[resendecode]

I am needing help coding in java with spacemacs. I finally got the autocomplete working by downloading the eclipse jdtls version 1.33 and specifying its path:
(lsp :variables lsp-java-server-install-dir "~/myjdtls" )

In the following annexed video, I start typing the name of a variable and then hit TAB to trigger the autocomplete.
Now, as you can see in the video, the pop up suggestions work but as soon as i hit Tab, the editor freezes.
I then go into the the messages log to show the error messages I obtain: (accidentally stop at the lsp-log buffer instead of going directly into the error message)
emacs java error.webm

WHAT I'VE TRIED
Not specifying the lsp server path just makes my autocomplete functionality disappear for java
Choosing Meghanada also seems clunky and not as polished.
I just wish I didn't have this happen because it still is very enjoyable.
If I'm posting this in the wrong place or you need further information, please let me know.
Thank you for reading.
