Is it an Maven, Gradle or Eclipse project?
Anything noteworthy in the logs?
I'm not too surprised it doesn't work after deleting .project. I'd try deleting the workspace to fix the issue.

Ok so this is an Eclipse project. The presence of .project in that case is critical for the Java Language Server to work.
Just don't delete it

it should, if you restart vscode
Revert .project file according to redhat-developer/vscode-java#223

Ok, that doesn't seem normal. Recovery should be simpler than that.
We'll investigate, but in the mean time, just don't delete .project/.classpath files

I am not able to replicate this. Restarting the workbench fixes any deletions. Closing as old and abandoned.
