"java.saveActions.organizeImports" setting doesn't work on Windows

[testforstephen]

This issue is originally created by @alx1024 at microsoft/vscode-java-debug#1071

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

• Operating System: Win 10
• JDK version: 11
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.62.0
• Java extension version: 1.0.0
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.36.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. In any Java Program in any main-function type "File f = new File("/");"
2. Save File

Current Result

Even with checkbox checked in settings menu "Java > Save Actions: Organize Imports" (which results in

"java.saveActions.organizeImports": true

in settings.json): imports are not automatically organized

Expected Result

Imports are automatically organized on file save with setting checked

Additional Informations

if you modify the settings.json manually to:

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.organizeImports": true }

regardless if Java > Save Actions-option is checked, imports work, but you have to search for this solution on Stackoverflow

I just wonder why almost 1 year later and this issue did not fix yet.

[alx1024]

yeah, for now on my machine it can be solved like this: ignore any settings in the settings UI. And just add this in your settings.json file:
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": { "source.organizeImports": true, "source.addMissingImports": true, },

still unresolved

but wait! regardless of saving, copy/paste code should carry imports from the source

having to search for this one was/is a bummer.

java.saveActions.organizeImports has now been deprecated in favour of "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {"source.organizeImports": true}
