Description Kai-Uwe Maetzel CLA 2002-05-24 06:51:20 EDT 
F1

1) have a folder folder1 containing Java sources
2) create a project and point it to folder1 as location
-> works fine
3) create folder1/folder2
4) put some Java source into folder1/folder2
5) create a project and point it to folder1/folder2 as its location
-> no error in wizard banner
6) press Finish
-> error dialog pops up saying "Invalid project description"
-> pressing details reveals the real reason: "folder1 and folder1/folder2 
overlap"

Expectation:
Either an overlap test is performed to enable/disable the Next/Finish button 
and/or the error message is more user friendly to make clear that the second 
project should be created inside the first one.

The Project creation page is contributed by the workbench.
Moving to Platform UI.

Verified that the wizard correctly reports the error in I20040517
