unresolved module error in module-info.java

[OkonSamuel]

[provide a description of the issue]

Trying to import external dependencies into a vscode java project having a module-info.java file and no build tool, causes unresolved errors in the module-info.java file. It seems module-info.class isnt being generated in the output folder.

 "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "Launch Current File",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "${file}"
        },
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "Launch App1",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "mail/mypack.App",
            "vmArgs": "--module-path /home/okonsamuel/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib --add-modules javafx.controls "
        },
]

Adding module-path and reference libraries doesn't seem to help.
Everything works once I remove modules (i.e removing module-info.java) and use only packages in my project.

Environment

• Operating System: Linux x86_64
• JDK version: 11
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.56.2
• Java extension version: 0.16.0
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.34.0

You're accessing javafx through module, you can take a look at redhat-developer/vscode-java#881. Looks like you need to use a build tool such as gradle to manage the javafx library as module. You can post more discussion to the duplicated issue redhat-developer/vscode-java#881

@badis-zgh Could you please open a new issue? It's better to provide a sample project to help reproduce the issue? thanks.
