Answer 1

In my case, the problem was faustinoaq.javac-linter extension. I uninstall the linter extension and everything works.

Answer 2

To get things right, add the root folder of you project in workspace. To do this in VS Code, go to File -> "Add folder to workspace" and then select the root folder (source folder).

Answer 3

If your files are already in the correct directory, press F1 and type in "Clean the Java Language Server Workspace"

Answer 4

Because vscode set the src folder as the default Java Source Path, you should change it to folder src/main/java. Just right click the folder src/main/java in vscode and click the option Add Folder to Java Source Path, then reopen the file, and the error is gone.
