When opening eclipse platform projects such as eclipse jdt project which already contains preconfigured ./.settings and .project and .classpath files, these files get overwritten by the maven importer in jdt.ls.

To overcome this we can introduce a new importer which looks for .project and .classpath files and if they are present we can activate that importer. Then the vscode java will ask the user to select the importer, then the user can decide to import it as it is using the meta file present.

Since this is only usefull when working with eclipse platform project, I think this extension will be a good point to add such functionality.
