Description
the name and description for "download sources" is a bit confusing.
- does turning this setting on enable or disable download of sources?
- what does "Eclipse:" refer to ? no other setting has this.
I would assume something like the following is more clear (based on how it seem to behave on my machine at least):
"Java > Download Sources Always
Download of Maven sources will always happen not just on demand which is the default."

Research direction
Search the repository for the setting text "download sources" and the unusual "Eclipse:" label, then inspect the surrounding VS Code setting definition. Update the name and description to clarify that Maven sources download automatically rather than only on demand, and verify the wording in the extension settings UI.
