I was just following the video tutorial from Anand Tamariya for
configuring Emacs for Java coding. It suggested EDE. Earlier, when I
read about EDE, it was mostly related to C/C++ files. So I didn’t touch
at that time.

But now when I enabled generic projects, it affected my other
workflow. So I disabled it again. I am happy with just the project.el.

Yes. I think EDE should be disabled/ deprioritized in favour of
project.el.

This workaround did not work.
