Visual Studio Code deleting class files in target folder

[kirantez]

I'm working on multi module Maven project, i built in cmd using mvn clean install/deploy and the build is successful, all the class files in target\class folder are generated.

But when i import this project in VS Code, while opening the projects it is deleting all the class files i.e it deletes target\classes*com* folder in all the projects.

And, VS code doesn't resolve the dependencies in java files until the file is opened.

How do I fix this?

So, when the all the class files are deleted, it is unable to debug the code. While I try to run the code, it shows following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class com.application.Main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.application.Main

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• JDK version: 11+
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.74.3
