Spring Security Cannot build or run tests in VSCode

I wanted to try out the samples, so fired up the project in VSCode and got this:

One or more cycles were detected in the build path of project 'spring-security-config'. The paths towards the cycle and cycle are:
->{spring-security-config, spring-security-ldap, spring-security-test}
->{spring-security-config, spring-security-test}

Gradle has no issues on the command line, so the problem might be in VSCode, but it might be worth looking into here anyway.

It does appear to be an issue with the VSCode Java extension https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues/718 stemming from eclipse buildship https://github.com/eclipse/buildship/issues/460.

There is a workaround for Eclipse mentioned in the Buildship issue, however I could not find a workaround for VSCode.
