Overall, looks good to me. The status is a lot more visible and access to opening logs / clearing workspace should hopefully fix some issues.
Only other consideration is whether users might be annoyed if they're doing something not related to Java and yet the status is a lot more prominent now. A user mentioned this but I don't think there's much we can do if the project itself is a Java project (particularly now that we have a global status bar).

Agreed. I just read that some doesn't short-circuit. find is an improvement 👍
We can let the user to hide the java server status bar when he does not want to see it for some workspaces. It's togglable.

The yellow background color is a little inharmonious with the overall VS Code appearance. Other status icons do not have any extra background color, like the error diagnostics. The icon and text are sufficient to draw attention. I would rather not set the background color when the status is warning. |
What about the icons, if no background color change, do we need to change the icon to BTW, @rgrunber, I changed the icon from 👍 to ☕, in this PR, but I'm not sure if that |
If no proper icon for java warning, we can still coffee icon since the text expresses its meaning as well. |
|
I think it should be fine to use the coffee codicon. What about using text to represent status vs. codicons ("Ready", "Warning", "Error", 👍 , Does " ☕ Java: 👍 " look weird ? Benefit would be saving a bit of space at the bottom. " ☕ : 👍 " seems it could be confusing. |
I prefer |

+1, icon+text is better than two icons. |

LGTM.
To me, the status shortcut list is a good way to expose features.
One follow-up request is to enable 3rd party extensions to contribute to the status shortcut list. For instance, vscode-java-pack offers many webviews to set up Java extension. If these options could appear in the status shortcut quickpick, users would find them more easily.

Just be aware we may encounter similar kinds of problems that we did trying to merge eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#2821 . Opening more things to the progress reporting means if they don't end their progress reporting the bar will "spin" forever. |
This PR made following changes to the server status bar item.
Move to the left. This aligns VS Code's status bar UX guideline: Place primary (global) items on the left.
Display the progress more explicitly
Use background color to highlight the status item when action is required
Make the status bar item as an entrance to access other useful commands.
