Metadata Files Generation

We use the setting java.import.generatesMetadataFilesAtProjectRoot to control where the project metadata files(.project, .classpath, .factorypath, .settings/) will be generated:

  • true: Metadata files will be generated at the project's root.
  • false: Metadata files will be generated at the workspace storage. To be specific, the path will be: <WORKSPACE_STORAGE_PATH>/redhat.java/jdt_ws/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/<PROJECT_NAME>/.

By default, the setting is set to false.

If the metadata files exist in both the project root and the workspace storage, the extension will pick the files in the project root.

Change the setting value

Depending on how you change the setting, some extra steps need to be taken to make the change take effect.

Change from false to true

You need to restart the client.

Change from true to false

  1. Close the client.
  2. Remove the metadata files in the project by your own.
  3. Open the client.
