java.import.maven.enabled setting not honored

Currently, the "java.import.maven.enabled":false setting requires that the .project, .classpath files and the .settings directory be removed and the Java workspace cleaned before taking effect (see https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues/634#issuecomment-529466893). This is clunky and poorly-documented.

Ideally, setting the "java.import.maven.enabled":false should immediately take effect. Less ideally, there should be clear documentation around the use of this setting to instruct users to clear out the files and clean the workspace.

Truthfully, my use case is to disable the Java language features for one of the folders in my multi-root workspace. This is currently made possible by disabling the import, but one could imagine a world in which this is a different setting, which would take effect immediately.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10 1809
• JDK version: 1.8.0_221
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.38.0
• Java extension version: 0.48.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open a fresh workspace in VS Code
2. Open a folder containing a Java project - we'll call this Project1
   1. The Java extension will immediately import and start compiling the code
3. Add another folder containing another Java project to the workspace - we'll call this Project2
   1. The Java extension will immediately import and start compiling the code
4. Restart VS Code
   1. The Java extension will immediately start compiling the code for both projects
5. Edit Project2's VS Code settings ([project2]/.vscode/settings.json) to contain the following:

   {
       "java.import.gradle.enabled":false,
       "java.import.maven.enabled":false
   }
   

6. Restart VS Code
   1. The Java extensions will immediately start compiling the code for both projects

Current Result

Immediately after setting the "java.import.maven.enabled":false property, the Java language features are still alive and active in the project.
Even after a restart of VS Code, the Java language features are still alive and active.

Expected Result

Immediately after setting the "java.import.maven.enabled":false property, the Java language features for the project should stop working.
After a restart of VS Code, the Java language features for the project should not load.

Additional Informations

This issue was based on a conversation with @snjeza in the VS Code Java Extension gitter channel.

まず、Project2/.vscode/settings.json と java.import.maven.enabled 設定を使って、マルチルート ワークスペースの動作を再現します。既存の .project、.classpath、.settings ファイルが再起動後のインポートにどのような影響を与えるかを確認します。設定を無効にすると、これらのファイルを手動で削除しなくても無効化が反映されるか、必要なクリーンアップが明確に文書化されていれば完了です。
