Description
I turned on the java tooling in vscode for a flutter project and received the following error:
Failed to configure project sounds
When I googled the error I found a github issue that suggested I should open the java log file where I found:
java.lang.Exception: Could not set the project description for 'sounds' because the project description file (.project) is out of sync with the file system.
I shouldn't have to dig into a log file to find the actual error. vscode-java should be showing the exception description in the vscode problems window.

Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the project-configuration failure with the Java tooling in VS Code, then trace how that error reaches the Problems window; it is done when the exception description is shown there instead of only in the Java log.
