Unfinished loading finding descriptions in LSP

When using the LSP interface with Eclipse the findingDescription.json isn't fully loaded and parsed, before it's used.

Here is an excerpt from a log file:

Seemingly, the CpgDocumentService access the finding descriptions before they are fully parsed and available through FindingDescription. This method

codyze/src/main/java/de/fraunhofer/aisec/codyze/analysis/FindingDescription.kt

Line 47 in ec0dd43

    
           val map = mapper.readValue<Map<String, FindingDescriptionItem>>(descriptionFile)

appears to finish evaluation too late.

This might be caused by some threaded execution and insufficent synchronisation.

Using the LSP-based plugin for VScode seems to work flawlessly. Is this somehow related to something Eclipse-specific?

Maybe. I'm gone test some more.
