Description Karice McIntyre CLA 2001-10-15 13:21:23 EDT 
Version: 204

Description:
When I select the default package in the packages view and attempt to delete it 
from the workspace, nothing happens.  It should delete the contents of the 
default package and I should no longer see the default package in the Packages 
view.

Steps:
1. Create a Java Project
2. Create a Java class, C.java
3. In the Packages view, select the default package (it will contain C.java)
4. Hit the Delete key
BUG: the contents of the default package is not deleted.

Workaround: select the contents of the default package and delete

should not be a problem to implement, no?

waiting for support from jcore (Bug#5073)

"A default package cannot be deleted, it is a built-in package.
Note that in the Java UI, you are not offered to delete it either."
