Description

Eclipse allows to configure the JDT compiler error/warning/ignore levels for many options. For example to ignore creating a class that extends an annotation (pretty common on CDI injections *Literal classes).

There is a quick fix:

But that action doesn't add anything to the settings files at any of the User/Workspace/Folder levels and there is no obvious ways to revert the action. Clean Language Server Workspace appear to do it, but it would be useful if all the compiler error level settings, could be individually controlled using VS Code settings files.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the VS Code User, Workspace, and Folder settings interact with the JDT compiler error, warning, and ignore levels. Compare that behavior with the existing Clean Language Server Workspace action and the shown quick fix. Done means individual compiler levels can be controlled in settings files and the quick-fix change can be reversed without cleaning the whole language-server workspace.
