Missing Gradle project configuration file: .settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs while import.gradle is disabled

I see error "Missing Gradle project configuration file: .settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs" of my maven project despite "java.import.gradle.enabled": false is in my .vscode/settongs.json.

There is still gradlew and build.gradle files, but they are not intended to be used for building java project.

Environment

• Operating System: rhel 7
• JDK version: 8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.55
• Java extension version: 0.76.0

BTW I also see such errors in log:

Reproduziere den Fehler mit java.import.gradle.enabled auf false gesetzt, während gradlew und build.gradle im Projekt verbleiben. Beginne damit, den im Stacktrace gezeigten Pfad für den Gradle-Import und die Buildship-Synchronisierung nachzuverfolgen, und überprüfe anschließend, dass die Warnung zum fehlenden .settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs und der Synchronisierungsfehler nicht mehr auftreten, wenn der Gradle-Import deaktiviert ist.
