Initialization failed. Failed to scan [Project Folder]

[chinloyal]

The plugin keeps failing when trying to scan a folder in my project it doesn't have access to. Is it possible to exclude folders you don't want to be scanned?

Environment

• Operating System: "linux", version: "4.19.79-1-manjaro", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
• JDK version: 12.0.2
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.38.1, x64
• Java extension version: 0.53.1

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a folder in your project directory with limited access
2. Navigate to pom.xml

Current Result

Expected Result

Skips data folder which it doesn't have access to and reads the other permissible files.

you can try the following:

 "java.import.exclusions": [
        "**/node_modules/**",
        "**/.metadata/**",
        "**/archetype-resources/**",
        "**/META-INF/maven/**",
        "**/NBG-Server/**"
    ]

I had already tried that, but to no avail. Same error.

"java.import.exclusions": [
        "**/node_modules/**",
        "**/.metadata/**",
        "**/archetype-resources/**",
        "**/META-INF/maven/**",
        "**/NBG-Server/**",
        "**/Project-Folder/**
    ]

@chinloyal in your case, accordingly to your logs, you have to exclude the folder "data/mysql"

so it should be (in you .vscode/settings.json):

"java.import.exclusions": [
"/data/mysql/*/"
]
