Problem:
In VS Code, Spring Boot annotations (like @RestController, @GetMapping) are not recognized. The same project works fine in IntelliJ.
Issue:
Despite several steps taken to resolve the issue, VS Code still does not recognize Spring Boot annotations and imports. There are no specific error messages beyond the missing imports and unrecognized annotations.
Steps Taken:
-
Verified that the necessary Spring Boot dependencies are included in build.gradle.
-
Set the correct JDK path in VS Code settings.
-
Reimported the Gradle project.
-
Cleaned and rebuilt the project using ./gradlew clean build –refresh-dependencies.
-
Cleaned the Java language server workspace.
-
Reloaded the VS Code window.
-
Ensured all relevant extensions (Java Extension Pack, Spring Boot Extension Pack) are installed and updated.
Despite these steps, VS Code still does not recognize Spring Boot annotations and imports. I expected these steps to resolve the dependency recognition issue, but the problem persists. There are no specific error messages beyond the missing imports and unrecognized annotations. I’m not sure what to do anymore.
