There should be an option to control it (on/off) maybe within `settings.json`\r\n\r\n**Before**\r\n![before](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42570935/206532002-3659b65a-8d00-4e2e-950e-24feaaea4502.png)\r\n**After**\r\n![after](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42570935/206532113-9e8c9f68-7ed6-4de7-9986-6282f0f76c47.png)\r\n\r\n@nickzhums Please review.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/cslobodan","@type":"Person","name":"cslobodan"},"datePublished":"2022-12-08T18:22:55Z","url":"https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-pack/issues/1127"}
