Hi this sounds more like a jdtls issue but I'm posting to see if anyone knows a workaround. I work on repositories that to me look like they're configured the same and run fine. I can't change the version to versionRange as this only seems to affect me.

Environment

Windows 11 wsl 2 Ubuntu 24
Using latest version of nvim-java, no edits to jdtls.

Config

return {
  "nvim-java/nvim-java",
  config = function()
    require("java").setup({
      java_debug_adapter = {
        enable = false,
      },
      jdk = {
        auto_install = false,
        version = "/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk-amd64",
      },
      java_test = {
        enable = false,
      },
    })
    vim.lsp.enable("jdtls")
  end,
}

Does mvn clean compile produce the same error?
