Extension modifies .project even if java.configuration.updateBuildConfiguration is set to `disabled`

[svogt]

I've set java.configuration.updateBuildConfiguration to disabled both on Workspace and user settings level and yet as soon as I start VSCode my .project files get modified and this snippet is being added

<filteredResources>
   <filter>
      <id>1738140691880</id>
      <name></name>
      <type>30</type>
      <matcher>
         <id>org.eclipse.core.resources.regexFilterMatcher</id>
         <arguments>node_modules|\.git|__CREATED_BY_JAVA_LANGUAGE_SERVER__</arguments>
      </matcher>
   </filter>
</filteredResources>

Can this be avoided?

Background: We as a company commit .project / .classpath to Git and the majority still uses Eclipse. Quite annoying to have 30+ modified files every time I try to use VSCode on a project
