Thanks for the detailed report. I can reproduce the issue. I think it's a relatively easy one to improve. Would you be interested in trying to author a patch.

Sure! I'm not familiar with the contribution process, but I assume I can figure that out from available documentation. If you could point out where to start adding this functionality that'd be helpful! I can go from there to figure out how to generate and submit a patch.

ProjectWithJavaResourcesImportConfigurator and ClasspathDetector classes is where attention should be placed.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
