Description Veronika Irvine CLA 2001-10-10 22:34:40 EDT
1) Click on "create Java Project" in "Getting Started" wizard.
2) Uncheck "Use default location"

Notice that the gray text indicating the default location is wiped out and the field for specifying the non-default location is blank.

I am most likely going to put the stuff somewhere close to where the default location is and would prefer to have the opportunity 
to edit that directory.  If I don't want that directory, I can easily select the text and delete.  It is not as easy to type all that stuff back in.
In most applications, the text would be left there but would be selected so I could just start typing if I wanted to replace the entire thing.

Putting the current location would cause worse usability problems as core does 
not allow overlapping project locations. This would cause the dialog to 
immediatly end up in an error state and would be very easy to lead the user to 
a wrong decision. 

Consider fixing the overlapping project location problem post 2.0 with the core 
team

Reopen for investigation

Marking as WONTFIX as we are not likely to get Core support for this
