Describe the bug
When you create a new Spring Boot project (2.76, Maven, Java 17) with Spring Web an application.properties file gets created. When you edit this file, e.g. add server.port=8888 and save the file, the file never appears in the target folder of the project.
This also means that the web application still starts at the default port 8080.

There is no problem with the same project is created with gradle.

Platform MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 Apple M1 chip - Eclipse STS 17.0

To Reproduce
See above
