Those files you mention (.settings, .classpath, .project) are just metadata files from the IDE, and java does nothing with them, they are not part of a java project, the only thing you need to create a java program its a .java file. If you want to create a project, there are better ways, for example using maven https://maven.apache.org once you installed it, you can create a new project using the QuickStart archetype
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4
It will create a standard structure for your project, and will save you a lot of work with the structure of your project, dependencies and build configurations.

To store project metadata some IDEs use additional files:
- Eclipse uses .settings, .project, .classpath
- Intellij uses .idea, .iml, .ipr, .iws
You don't need any of these for your project to work. If you use VSCode you don't need them at all.
Most modern java frameworks have quite comprehensive code generators for new projects which makes it easier to get started e.g.:
