This is my first post on the subject.  
Sorry if it is inappropriate.

I created a “java-application” project with arguments (init,–type,java-application) in buildship.  
After that, when I remove the arguments from the task configuration and run the Gradle task, the arguments are still set and cannot be removed.

How can I remove the arguments?

If you clear a line from an arguments section and “click away” so that the list item is no longer in focus then the item disappears from the list.

Thank you for your response.  
I see that simply removing the override workspace setting is not enough.  
By removing the argument, I was able to execute the task.
