Hi, the setting "explorer.autoReveal": false is ignored for Java Project Explorer. Is it a bug?

Hi @abiondo84, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

• The setting explorer.autoReveal only applies to the built-in VS Code Explorer view. The Java Projects/Java Project Explorer view does not currently respect that setting.
• There’s no existing configuration to disable auto-reveal in the Java Project Explorer. You can:
  • Continue using the built-in Explorer (where explorer.autoReveal works as expected).
  • File a feature request against the Java extension (e.g. vscode-java-dependency) to add support for disabling auto-reveal.
