Lack of relocated classes information in IDE environment #4116

Description

@chendifan

I'm using maven-shade-plugin in my multi module Maven Java Project.

root
|-- module-a
|-- |-- pom.xml
|-- module-b
|-- |-- pom.xml
pom.xml

module-b depents on module-a.

module-a depents on the kafka-client lib (third-party lib), and in the pom of module-a I add this to shade kafka-client lib into the final module-a Jar so that no kafka-client dependency will be passed to module-b:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.0</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>shade</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                ...
                <!-- relocate package name -->
                <relocations>
                    <relocation>
                        <pattern>org.apache.kafka</pattern>
                        <shadedPattern>com.a.b.c.org.apache.kafka</shadedPattern>
                    </relocation>
                </relocations>
                ...
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

module-b depents on module-a so it will import the relocated classes in kafka-client which is contained in module-a Jar.

But when I try to import the project into VSCode I got error "The import com.a.b.c cannot be resolved Java(268435846)" in module-b like:

I think maybe vscode is not including the shaded jar into project environment?

No offense, but IntelliJIDEA handled like this without error alert, project seems all good after importing:

Maybe we can take it into consideration?

Thank you very much.
