Command completion and quick fix stops working after "some time"

See: #2941 (comment) for workaround.

---

Starting from "some time ago", not sure when, within last 6 months(?), many of my VS Code projects stop working after a while. When trying to complete with fn-ctrl-space there is only a popup saying Loading..., cmd-mouseclick on a class only shows the animating loading indicator bar at the top of file. Some operations like organize imports through option-shift-o works fine and immediately.

If I do "Reload window", everything starts working properly again until some time has passed and I am back at the original problem.

Not sure what to check for where to find more clues about what is going wrong.

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

• Operating System: mac os Ventura 13.2.1
• JDK version: 17
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.75.1
• Java extension version: v1.14.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. No clue

Completion via keyboard shortcut (ctrl + space) has a perf regression, the fix was merged yesterday: eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#2453.

Could you try the latest pre-release of VS Code Java and let us know if the problem still exists?

The same happens with v1.15.2023021503

@Artur- Could you attach a project example?

I assumed this was happening on all projects but it seems it mostly occurs in one. Unfortunately it is a private project so I cannot share it. Any other way I can provide more info?

[jdneo]

@Artur- Is there any error logs for that failed project?

Some other information might be helpful, like the installed extension list and the extension settings.

Is it possible that this is the same issue as #2947?

I disabled a lot of extensions and have not seen the problem since. One of the extensions was the Spring extension

Its similar to my problem. #2933

We came across an issue in the Spring Tools that caused problems like this, so it might be spring-projects/sts4#968. The pre-release of the Spring Boot Tools extension contains a fix, so would be interesting to hear what happens if you switch to the pre-release of that extension and enable it again.

This fixed the issue for me, most prominently Cmd+Click to follow a reference not working. Finally, this was driving me mad 😂 Thanks!

Its working great for me with this Spring Boot Tools update!
