"IllegalArgumentException: Path must include project and resource name" when unloadable .project file is present

For instance when opening the folder examples of https://github.com/apache/camel-k/tree/master/examples

there is this error in output:

Current Result

Expected Result

Additional Informations

it was working few weeks/months ago seems not, i tried with VS Code 1.42.1 and extension 0.55.1 and there was already the issue.

Reproduce the failure by opening the apache/camel-k examples folder in VS Code and review the linked full log. Start at StandardProjectsManager.java:311 and JDTLanguageServer.java:277 in the stack trace; done means opening the folder no longer produces the IllegalArgumentException or related file errors.
