Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a project and add a regular directory that is linked to a file system folder.  My linked folder is the root of my source tree which has over 200 sub-directories each of which contains code for a jar file and so has its own "src" directory.
2. Open the linked folder and navigate to a nested sub-directory:  in my case something like "coreServices/src".
3. Right-click->Build Path->Use as Source Folder

When I initially create the project this works: the directory I selected disappears and appears as a source folder in the project.  However after a while (even if I've never closed the project and exited eclipse) this gesture will stop working:  the directory may or may not disappear from the linked folder, but it will not appear as a source folder in the project.

If it happens to still show the directory in the linked folder and I repeat the gesture,  I will get an error dialog about the folder already is a source folder.

If I go to the project properties and look at the Java Build Path, Source tab,  I do not see the source directory.  I can add the directory from this tab however and then it will appear as a source folder in the project
