Environment

• Operating System: macOS Ventura 13.5
• JDK version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 17.0.8+0)
• Visual Studio Code version: Version: 1.81.0 (Universal)
• Java extension version: v1.21.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open offending project and run Java: Rebuild Projects
2. Open any file for editing and the error will occur.

I cannot include sample project unfortunately due to company policy but I have included the necessary logs. The error does not appear to occur on all projects, just certain ones.

extension.log

Current Result

Expected Result

Additional Informations

• Rolling back to v1.20.0 also resolves the issue

@Skylark95 You can try to add

"java.inlayHints.parameterNames.enabled": "none",

to your settings.json

[Skylark95]

@snjeza I added the mentioned config and still get the same behavior and exception on v1.21.0

[snjeza]

@Skylark95 Could you check your workspace settings.json? This is an upstream jdt.core issue.

[snjeza]

@Skylark95 Could you provide your pom.xml or build.gradle?

[Skylark95]

@snjeza Unfortunately unable to get permission from my company to provide that. :(

@Skylark95 ~Could you check your workspace settings.json?~ This is an upstream jdt.core issue.

I can't find anything regarding this in jdt core issues. Was this adressed?

[snjeza]

@Skylark95 Could you test Java LS 1.24.3? It includes the fix from https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/issues/1376

use Optional.ofNullable() for "this.units[i]" .
