Description Joerg Hohwiller CLA 2006-11-19 17:24:20 EST 
This issue originally comes from bug #163718

When you use the Perspective "Java Browsing" and close a Project "Foo",
the project "Foo" is still an eclipse project. But it is NOT visible in the
"Projects" view. Now if you want to create a new project or import an existing
project with the same name "Foo", you will NOT succeed because the project
already exists. Since you do NOT see it, you might not understand why.

With "updating" you mean modifying the eclipse codebase and add this filter and NOT configuring my existing release, right?

I agree on this one.
