Description Inocencio Richiez CLA 2008-06-04 14:28:48 EDT 
Build ID: Build id: I20080516-1333

Steps To Reproduce:
1. create a WEB project name p1
2. delete p1, BUT on the "Delete Resources dialog, do NOT select the checkbox "Delete project contents on disk (cannot be done)".
3. press OK on the "Delete Resources" dialog.
4. Try to create a new PLUGIN (not web) project with the same name - p1: you will notice that the framwork allows you to. This will create a p1 PLUGIN project with a WebContent folder and other web project artifacts. This is wrong. Should have not permitted to create the project since a project with this name already exist in the file system.

NOTE: On Step 4. If you try to create a WEB instead of a plugin project, the framework will NOT allow you to do this with the same name. Web handles the checking of projects on the file system, PDE does not.

PDE should warn before overwriting. However, this will only be fixed if a patch is provided.  Closing as WONTFIX.
