Description
I have a folder/workspace/project (originally created with Eclipse and maintained with Git) containing a large number of sub-projects.
Now I am trying to switch to VsCode, but every time I open this workspace every .project file and every .settings folder are automatically updated.
Since they are under git maintenance these automatic updates are quite frustrating.
Is there some setting for disabling this behavior?
I already tried many settings, among with:
"java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot": false,
"java.project.resourceFilters": [
"\\.settings"
]
but without success.
Any hints?
Thank you very much

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the workspace-opening behavior with the Eclipse project and settings shown, then trace the Java extension's metadata generation and resource-filter handling. Done means identifying a supported configuration or confirming that the automatic updates cannot be disabled.
