Error deleting the cache

[anthonyvdotbe]

When doing Delete Oracle Java extension cache for this workspace, I got the following error:

There was nothing about the cause of the error in the extension's output and when clicking Reload window the error dialog was dismissed, but VS Code remained open and nothing happened.

So I propose to:

• log the cause of the error in the extension's output and/or show it directly in the dialog
• in case of an error, do not show the Reload window button. Instead, add a button to open the extension's cache directory in the operating system's file explorer and advise to close VS Code and delete the directory manually

I received the same errors. Only way I could fix it was to delete the entire workspace data directory for the extension.

Thanks for the suggestion, @anthonyvdotbe. We’ll definitely try to incorporate these changes.

Typically, this issue occurs on Windows when deletion is prevented by the OS due to file locks still retained by the OS, even after the Language Server has exited and released the file locks. The "Reload Now" action is required even when deletion has failed, in order to restart the Language Server.
