Missing Gradle project configuration file: .settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs while import.gradle is disabled

See original GitHub issue

I see error “Missing Gradle project configuration file: .settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs” of my maven project despite "java.import.gradle.enabled": false is in my .vscode/settongs.json.

There is still gradlew and build.gradle files, but they are not intended to be used for building java project.

Environment

Operating System: rhel 7
JDK version: 8
Visual Studio Code version: 1.55
Java extension version: 0.76.0

BTW I also see such errors in log:
