Create Java Project gives "java.project.create not found" error

[Behodar]

Issue Type: Bug

This is my first time using Visual Studio Code. I've been following the instructions on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-tutorial and have installed the Coding Pack for Java.

Now I'm up to this bit:
"You can also create a Java project using the Java: Create Java Project command. Bring up the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and then type java to search for this command. After selecting the command, you will be prompted for the location and name of the project."

When I choose "Java: Create Java Project" I get the message "Command 'Java: Create Java Project...' resulted in an error (command 'java.project.create' not found)" and it doesn't ask me for the name or location for my project.

Searching for the verbatim error message gives zero hits, although there are a couple of hits for similar errors. None seem to actually have any solutions. Is the documentation out of date? Is there something else I need to install?

Have you installed Project Manager for [email protected] ?

[Behodar]

Yes, it's installed.

[jdneo]

I could not repro this on my machine.

Do you have any existing Java project on your machine and could the project import correctly in VS Code?

[Behodar]

Unfortunately I don't. I'm new to Java and was hoping to use VS Code as a familiar environment, but I haven't got as far as even making a Hello World at this stage.

[jdneo]

To help us understand the problem, would you mind to share a gif/video about the problem? Maybe we can find some clues.

[Behodar]

You're going to love this. I haven't even opened VS Code since logging this issue, yet I just tried it again and it worked fine. I wonder whether logging out of Windows and back in did the trick (I didn't see any instruction to do this, but I may have missed something).

Anyway, it appears that this issue is solved :)

[jdneo]

Thank you to let us know the problem is gone.

[nickzhums]

no problem, always good to know that problem is solved :)

Looks like vscode didn't complete extension activation. Whenever this kind of error occurs, you can find logs via View -> Output -> Select Log(Extension Host)

I am getting this error as well.

I also encountered this problem, but it was fixed after I reinstalled vscode. I'm not quite sure what caused this problem.
