.project and .settings hidden in Eclipse Plugin

[uqpik]

Description

Because of #20846 .project and .settings resources are hidden in all Projects, including Java Projects, when using the DBeaver Plugin for Eclipse.

This results in the following behavior:

• Create a new Generic Project
• .project/.settings visible in Project Explorer
• Restart Eclipse
• .project/.settings no longer visible

This also causes the problem, that, when project properties are changed, they are not immediately recognized by EGit (as .project/.settings are hidden) until Eclipse is restarted.

A preferences switch to hide this files could solve the issue.

Please clarify the steps to reproduce the issue. What is Generic project? Which eclipse should I use to find this Generic project?

[uqpik]

Sorry, i meant General project. However it occurs on other projects types too. Using Eclipse 2024-03 (package Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers).
As an alternative to #20846 a filter may fullfill the requirement to hide the .* files, like the one within the Project Explorer:

It can be found within the Project Explorer menu "Filters and Customization..."
