Description
In the current implementation, the workspace directory for Eclipse JDTLS is generated using a random UUID for every invocation:
ws_dir = str(PurePath(
MultilspySettings.get_language_server_directory(),
"EclipseJDTLS",
"workspaces",
uuid.uuid4().hex,
)
)
Two directories are created inside ws_dir:
data_dir = str(PurePath(ws_dir, "data_dir"))
dtls_config_path = str(PurePath(ws_dir, "config_path"))
Shouldn't workspace directories be consistent across invocations for the same project?

Research direction
Start at the workspace-generation code shown in the issue and trace how the project path is available when Eclipse JDTLS starts. Determine a stable workspace location for repeated invocations of the same project, then verify that the data_dir and config_path locations are reused rather than recreated under a new UUID.
