It would be great to have an option to set the "-parameters" compiler option globally.

[provide a description of the issue]

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 11
• JDK version: 17
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.94.0
• Java extension version: 1.35.1

Hello,

I am aware that there is a GUI menu to set the "-parameters".

• Consider enable -parameter compiler arg by default #2872

However, when I execute "Clean Java Language Server Workspace", the option gets reset, which feels a bit inconvenient.

So, it would be nice to have an option to set it globally in something like User Settings.json.

Thank you. 👍

Root cause is that by default the .settings folder is stored in the workspace. So it will get removed once the workspace is cleaned.

Thank you for your response.

The reason I submitted the issue was because I frequently ran "Clean Java Language Server Workspace" due to the issue mentioned here: [#3797]
This reset the settings, so I thought it would be helpful to have a global setting option.

However, while searching, I came across this post:

• https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/wiki/Upgrading-to-Spring-Framework-6.x#parameter-name-retention.

I tried the following steps:

1. Create the file "${PROJECT_ROOT}/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs".
   💡 In my case, I've never opened this project to eclipse, so the .settings folder didn't exist.

2. Add the following content to the "org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs" file:

   org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.methodParameters=generate

After doing this, the option remains intact even after the completion of running 'Clean Java Language Server Workspace.

I'll close the issue now. Thank you. Have a great day. 👍
