Description Adam Childs CLA 2002-08-20 19:08:54 EDT 
Feel free to disregard if this is the intended behavior, but it was not what I
expected.

To reproduce:

-create new simple project "project one"
-create new simple project "project two"
-create file "test" in project "project one"
-select file "test" from "project one" in Navigator
-right mouse button on "test", select Copy
-select "test" in project "project one"
-right mouse button, select Delete
-attempt to paste into "project two" fails ('Resource does not exist...")

Eclipse 2.0

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The copy operation places the file name on the clipboard and not the actual 
file contents. When you delete the file and then do a paste the file will be 
gone.
This is how Windows Explorer works. 
However, we should be able to check whether the file on the clipboard exists 
and leave the paste menu item disabled if it doesn't.
