@andy-goryachev-oracle I tried it again after clearing the workspace folder and they do appear again.

I also had some old git index settings applied which hid most of .project changes. Turns out that basically all `.project` files are modified, but I don't know if we can really help that - even when you tell VSCode Java plugin to not populate the workspace with project files, it sees they exist in the repo and uses/modifies them anyway. I saw a few issues on GitHub regarding this with no real resolution.

All of `.project`s have the same bit added (seems like something internal for the plugin):

       <filteredResources>
               <filter>
                       <id>1720448829339</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>


Regardless, the change does prevent the plugin from modifying `.classpath` files, which lets the project index and build properly. I don't expect to ever have to tinker with `.project` files for any reason, so it's good enough for me.
