org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs overridden with default? values even if specified differently

[stefanrybacki]

In a gradle project we have:

eclipse.jdt.file.withProperties { props ->
        props.setProperty "org.eclipse.jdt.core.circularClasspath", "warning"
        props.setProperty "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.processAnnotations", "enabled"
        props.setProperty "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.annotation.nullanalysis", "disabled"
    }

and we have

eclipse {
      synchronizationTasks eclipseJdtApt, eclipseJdt, cleanEclipseFactorypath, eclipseFactorypath
    }

so running ./gradlew eclipseJdt for instance generated a correct org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file in .settings.
However, when clean and rebuilding from within vscode the org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file will be overridden not honoring the settings we set above, specifically org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.annotation.nullanalysis=disabled is overridden with enabled which causes class hierarchy issues in the compiler.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows but running SSH remote in Linux
• JDK version: 11
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.71.2
• Java extension version: 1.11.0

I can't reproduce the issue.
@stefanrybacki could you attach your settings.json, build.gradle and your log. See Enable logging

@stefanrybacki you may want to take a look at #2712 (comment)

@snjeza thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately I cannot share the gradle and settings file as is, due to company policies. Let me check if I can create a reproducible project without critical information. I will also check if the linked component fixes my compile issues, however it might only the transitive compile problem I get due vscode overriding the jdt file.

@stefanrybacki Could you try to add

{
    "java.compile.nullAnalysis.nonnull": [],
    "java.compile.nullAnalysis.nullable": [],
}

to your settings.json?

[stefanrybacki]

@snjeza I can confirm that applying those settings and also changes the value of org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.annotation.nullanalysis to disabled in the jdt file.
So do those settings override the settings specified in the gradle file?
