As a Java developer
When I open a .java file in Eclipse IDE from a project I already have in workspace.
I'd expect JDT to configure the project at best to be usable
I get messages telling that the .java file is not part of the build path and poor completion/features.

In this case, I'd love to see a pop-up: "Project <blah> is not configured for rich Java edition. Do you want to configure it now?" that would drive me to most appropriate UI to configure the project.
