Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-08-25 13:44:33 EDT 
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.
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-08-25 13:47:11 EDT 
Side note: the Javadoc comment for content changes says:

This flag is only valid for elements which correspond to files
Comment 2 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2007-06-19 10:21:06 EDT 
I'm not sure what is the use case for surfacing the DESCRIPTION or ENCODING flag.
No action planned.
