I work in an enterprise environment where we have many projects and many layers of complex build path dependencies. When we create new projects, setting up the build path can be time consuming. 

Frequently, new projects have many similar depedencies to existing projects. If we could drag build-path elements from one project to another, to mean "add the same dependency to this project", this would be a really easy and intuitive way to setup a project's build path.

What we could do is to support drag and drop for build path container (libraries) and for external JARs. Internal JAR's, class folders, source folders or project dependencies would conflict with existing the drag and drop.
