How to resolve "Access to host class is not allowed or does not exist" in Karate

Question

A bit frustrated that can't make this work, as it is simply documented on this link https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#calling-java

Tried to create from scratch using maven archetype and the standalone jar just to make sure its not about folder structure. Please see below screenshots:

Update: It works after removing .java in the parameter value.

instead of * def helper = Java.type('examples.users.Helper.java') changed it to * def helper = Java.type('examples.users.Helper')

But only works when run as cucumber feature from eclipse. Still cant make it work in vscode.

instead of 
* def helper = Java.type('examples.users.Helper.java') 

changed it to 
* def helper = Java.type('examples.users.Helper')
