Node js 8.10.0 not supported [message #1828538]

I have recently migrated a Gradle WTP project to Eclipse EE 20.3. Since then, whenever I open up the first html file, it complains that I should upgrade Node.js to 10 or better.

However, I am not using Node.js and I have never actively installed it anywhere. It might stem from some wizard actions, I honestly have to admit that I do not know everything those wizards do. Even more so, I am completely clueless what's actually wrong.

So my first preference would be deactivating Node.js completely for the project, followed by just upgrading to a non-complaining version and be done with it. I would appreciate any help on how to do this. I can also upload some files like build.gradle, but there is nothing about Node.js in there.

Thank you in advance.

The Enterprise Java package as of 2020-03 includes Wild Web Developer, which spins up its support when you open any file type it supports. It is what prompts for node to be installed if it's not, and about incompatible versions if that's what it finds. It's replacing most of the support for JavaScript files in 2020-06.

https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/23 is the closest thing I can find that already exists to track this.
