Description Frederic Fusier CLA 2005-08-02 06:11:00 EDT 
Using build I20050726-1222, but this problem is not specific to it. I already
noticed in 3.1...

In my workspace, I want to import several projects at the same time from another
workspace (call it WKSP1). However, WKSP1 is an very old big workspace and when
I select it in "Select root directory" of Import dialog, it takes a really long
while before displaying all projects list.

I noticed that a long time was spent parsing ".metadata" directory which is
quite big on my WKSP1 worskpace (many histories, projects, debug info, etc.).
I think this search for projects in root directory can be improved by skipping
this ".metadata" directory because I guess it's not possible to find project
under this directory...
