target directory of a maven project is not included

[Andras-Csanyi]

Hi All,

I have a maven Spring GraphQL project where the GQL entities are generated. The generated code under the ${project.dir}/target/generated-sources/graphql is not picked up. NeoVim says "cannot find symbol". Any idea how can I tell JDTLS that the above mentioned directory should be included?

Thanks!

I asked the same question on SO with further details and an example project.

See the discussion in redhat-developer/vscode-java#177

Depending on how the sources are generated, eclipse.jdt.ls might pick it up (e.g. antlr maven plugins work fine). Others might require extra configuration.

I am having the same issue. OpenAPI source generator, project generated for eclipse, .classpath looks good (source folder added), but getting error messages in nvim. Since I installed everything into a vanilla nvim installation, I guess there still is a problem with the default setup.

If there is a workaround that people could use in the meantime, it would be great to have it documented somewhere where people can find it. So far I haven't been successful to fix it for myself.
