   Hi Jinbo Wang (@testforstephen), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

   Suggestions to refresh the Java LS when project files change:

   • After modifying build files (Gradle/Maven), run Java: Clean the Java language server workspace to force a full reload (ref: Improve first-time / new user experience redhat-developer/vscode-java#1672).
   • When renaming packages/folders or classes, use VS Code’s Java refactoring (F2 or Refactor → Rename Symbol) instead of manual explorer renames to keep JDT LS in sync (ref: Modifying class name and file name are out of sync #1287).
   • You can also reload the entire window via Developer: Reload Window (Ctrl+Shift+P) or restart the Java language server.
