Change java project source in VSCode?

Question

After creating the basic hello world Spring Java application I am getting this lint error for the 'hello' package definition:

The declared package "hello" does not match the expected package "main.java.hello"

I understand in Eclipse you can change the Java source directory to be /src/main/java instead of just /src. How can I achieve the same in VSCode?

Answer 1

You can right-click on src/main/java in Explorer and choose "Add Folder to Java Source Path", and restart VSCode.

Answer 2

In the .vscode/settings file set

"java.project.sourcePaths": [
     "src/main/java"
 ]

or edit the Workspace settings and find the java.sourcePaths property.
