Description Dirk Baeumer

When the project description of an IProject changes the resource delta flags
this as a special DESCRIPTION change. However the Java model delta for a
corresponding Java project flags this as a unspecific content changed.

Shouldn't the Java model flag Description changes as well. Another interesting
flag to be surfaced as well could be the ENCODING flag.

Side note: the Javadoc comment for content changes says:

This flag is only valid for elements which correspond to files

I'm not sure what is the use case for surfacing the DESCRIPTION or ENCODING flag.
No action planned.
