Java: helix can find documentation but cannot go to implementation

[AdityaMayukhSom]

Summary

I was implementing an XML syntax checker in java, when I required to see the inner implementation of a class implemented in core java. But when I used gd it showed no definition found.

But when using Space-k, it can fetch the documentation and show it. I am using jdtls as the language server.

I tried gd on a locally implemented class and it worked fine by opening the declaration of the class in a new buffer.

I tried with classes imported from packages installed by maven, but there too the documentation was fetched but the class definition could not be opened.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. Opening a java file in helix.
2. Importing a class from core java.
3. Invoked gd on the class name.

I expected this to happen:

The class definition to get opened in a new buffer.

Instead, this happened:

no definition found was showed in the status line.
