Open

Description

Syntax highlighting does not work on symlinked files, but it does on original one.

Environment
  • Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
  • JDK version: 13.0.7
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.63.2
  • Java extension version: 1.3.0
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a sample java project with a .java file and introduce an error to it (e.g. use HashMap<String, String> without importing HashMap).
  2. You should see HashMap underlined with an error HashMap cannot be resolved to a type
  3. Create a symlink of the file to somewhere outside the project (in ubuntu: ln -s <path to original file> <path somewhere outside src/main/java structure>)
  4. The new file won't have HashMap underlined

original code with expected behavior
symlinked code with unexpected behavior
