Fail on compile errors instead of throwing "Unresolved compilation problem" at run time

Question

When compiling Java code with errors in it, Visual Studio Code generates byte code throwing:

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem

How can this setting be disabled? I would like Visual Studio Code not to generate any byte code for classes containing compilation errors.

I would like to get a compile time error instead of a run time error. — Danilo Piazzalunga, Oct 20 '20 at 15:40

When you run a project with sytax error(one kind of compilation error), it will first show as problems:

Then you can fix the error, or choose to continue by clicking the Proceed, the compilation error will be shown in the Terminal:

So it's indeed separated by compile time or run time. If there's misunderstanding about your question, please let me know.
