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.

Thank you @lukostyra  for checking!

This change looks innocuous enough - at least it does not break the build.  Why VSCode does it is a mystery, but I suppose that's a bug in VSCode plugin.
